Remote, Oregon, United States Cohere Health Full time

Company Overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient's healthcare experience. Founded in August 2019, we are obsessed with eliminating wasteful friction in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications. We build software designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

We deploy a multi-dimensional engagement model that utilizes Cohere Care Paths to ensure provider decisions are aligned with standards of care and drive optimal outcomes for every patient. We also incorporate proven interventions to unlock further improvements in experience and quality and achieve our clients' value objectives.

Opportunity Overview:

Cohere's Clinical Programs team is responsible for conceiving, designing, developing, and continuously refining clinical specialty programs that reduce medical expenses, reduce provider burden, and optimize care. Clinical programs utilize data and technology to shift utilization management from a transactional experience to one that drives personalized care for patients and value for those who care for them.

Cohere's MSK clinical programs align patient, provider, and payer needs and ensures that the right care is delivered at the right time across a variety of orthopedic procedures and therapies. Launched in 2021 and rapidly growing with new and existing clients, MSK programs leverage Cohere's portfolio of interventions to influence care decisions toward clinically appropriate care.

  • 10+ years experience in the areas of utilization management, clinical programs, and/or care management
  • 5+ years of experience leading direct reports with demonstrated ability to recruit and manage a high-performing team
