Our innovative hybrid model of delivering urgent care, primary care and occupational medicine care delivers exceptional patient care to the communities that we serve. Med First is growing rapidly and expanding into both rural and urban communities throughout North and South Carolina. Our mission is to fill primary care service gaps within underserved communities.

As a leader in accountable care organizations (ACOs) and population health management, we’re committed to forward thinking programs that emphasize preventive care, chronic disease management and integrated delivery systems.

In this pivotal leadership role, you'll drive our value-based care (VBC) strategy, overseeing programs that reward quality outcomes. You'll collaborate with clinical leaders, analytics teams, and external partners to design and implement initiatives that enhance patient experiences, lower costs, and achieve superior performance in risk-based contracts. This is a chance to shape the future of healthcare in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and execution of VBC strategies, including ACOs, bundled payments, and shared savings programs
• Oversee clinical initiatives focused on total cost of care reduction (e.g., chronic care management, readmission prevention, senior care programs)
• Partner with providers to educate on VBC tools, workflows, and performance metrics; drive adoption of best practices
• Analyze data to identify opportunities, monitor KPIs (quality metrics, utilization, RAF scores), and implement performance improvement plans
• Negotiate and manage value-based contracts with payers, ensuring alignment with organizational goals
• Build cross-functional teams and foster collaborations to support population health and care coordination
• Stay abreast of regulatory changes (e.g., CMS guidelines, MIPS) and industry trends in VBC

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, Business, Nursing, or related field; Master's (MBA, MHA, MPH) or clinical degree strongly preferred
• 7+ years of progressive experience in healthcare, with at least 5 years in value-based care, population health, or managed care
• Proven track record in leading VBC programs, contract negotiations, and achieving quality/cost targets
• Deep knowledge of VBC models (e.g., ACOs, risk adjustment, shared risk), reimbursement methodologies, and healthcare regulations
• Strong analytical skills with experience in data-driven decision-making and performance metrics

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Medicare/Medicaid programs, chronic care management, or clinically integrated networks
• Leadership in care transformation initiatives, such as reducing ED visits or managing chronic diseases
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities, with a focus on provider engagement

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (depending on experience and location)
• Performance-based bonuses and incentives tied to VBC outcomes
• Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and generous PTO
• A collaborative, innovative culture committed to health equity and clinician well-being
