Job Description
• Champion Sana's payer-side clinical strategy, ensuring that coverage policies, utilization decisions, and pharmacy guidelines are rooted in evidence-based practice and translate into seamless, high-quality care for every member
• Build and lead a small clinician-led payer team responsible for in-house complex case management, high-cost claimant review, utilization management, and medical necessity review
• Drive strategy and implementation of cost containment initiatives, including clinical partnership management, tooling, and benefit design
• Set and evolve evidence-based coverage guidelines, benefit design, and formulary policy aligned with high-value outcomes
• Support the Operations team and our PBM partner to drive evidence-based programs to bend the pharmacy cost curve without degrading adherence, and limiting member friction
• Partner with Underwriting to assess clinical risk in quoting and pricing both prospective and renewing employer groups
• Work with Analytics to support medical economics, population health initiatives, and actionable insights for employer groups
• Work with Network Operations, Care Navigation, Sana's virtual care clinic, and Case Management to prioritize future contracting based on real gaps in care for Sana members
• Serve as a primary clinical voice in the design of Sana's internal payer tools, coverage engines, UM workflows, and cost-transparency experiences
• Evolve case management KPIs and build program reporting structures to measure clinical efficacy and member outcomes
