Additional details
- While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.
- We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.
- Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point.
- We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.
- ABOUT THE ROLE Pivotal Health is expanding its investment in clinical data infrastructure as a core strategic initiative.
- We are building a state-of-the-art clinical data platform that collects, processes, and transforms complex healthcare information from a variety of sources and formats into structured, high-quality data assets.
- This platform serves as the foundation for a growing set of products, analytics capabilities, and operational workflows across the organization.
- As healthcare data continues to grow in volume and complexity, building systems that securely process, govern, and deliver high-quality clinical data has become a critical capability.
- Your work will directly power claims evidence generation, provider advocacy initiatives, and efforts to improve Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) outcomes and win rates.
- This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving difficult data problems where there is no clean source of truth.
