AI-forward Director of Claim Payment Accuracy

to architect the strategic roadmap for how Clover identifies, optimizes, and maintains claim payment precision.

You are responsible for the quality oversight of claim payments and the ongoing maintenance of our clinical and reimbursement policies, ensuring that pricing, benefit rules, and contract terms result in flawless adjudication.

While you will not manage the configuration team directly, you will act as the strategic bridge between technical logic and clinical intent. You will monitor the output of our systems and vendor partnerships to identify and mitigate leakage, ensuring that policies and contracts are seamlessly and accurately operationalized. By ensuring payment precision, you directly improve the experience for both our members and provider partners by reducing billing friction and ensuring timely, accurate payments.

Bpaas Strategic Synergy

Serve as the lead for global payment accuracy oversight regarding our external BPaaS partner.

to build out ongoing monitoring and oversight trends that identify high-impact risks to support judgmental sampling and targeted audits.

Continued Success

You will lead Clover to market-leading "Clean Claim" and "Payment Accuracy" rates. By championing automated monitoring and data-driven research, you will evolve the team into a proactive strategic powerhouse, ensuring Clover's payment ecosystem achieves top-tier precision and technological sophistication.
