Vp Or Dir Of Health Plan Operations

About MyPlace Health

myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-driven healthcare leaders and organizations that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors. We are an integrated care delivery organization that specializes in providing personalized care and coverage to older adults who wish to remain safely living in their homes and communities for as long as possible, rather than living in a nursing facility.

Our mission is simple: to enable seniors to live the independent lives they deserve. The primary ways in which we pursue our mission are through capitated arrangements with government payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid under the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, and as a value-based provider working in partnership with local health plans.

We are building a mission-driven team that shares our passion for redefining the way older adults experience care as they “age in place” in the community. This is a unique opportunity to take on one of our country’s most challenging healthcare problems and it is a unique moment in time to join us as we scale up to spread our mission across markets.

About This Role

This role presents an extraordinary opportunity for a mission-driven leader to play an integral role in establishing the finance and health plan operations of a dynamic, integrated care delivery startup. This teammate will be responsible for building, scaling, and continuously improving our PACE Health Plan Operations function, which includes, but is not limited to, TPA management/oversight (claims), utilization management, provider network administration, and more. As one of the inaugural members of our leadership team, this teammate will set the tone in how we develop sound and efficient health plan operations that enable us to scale our model efficiently and responsibly. Most importantly, this teammate will be empowered to think strategically across nearly all aspects of our organization in support of our effort to redefine the way older adults experience care as they age in place in their homes and communities.
