Medical Director (Reviewer) Full-Time, Remote – Remote

Description

Due to the continuing growth of our organization, Medical Review Institute of America (MRIoA) is currently offering a full-time, remote (work from home) position for a Medical Director (Physician Reviewer).

As a market leader in utilization management and clinical review solutions for over 40 years, MRIoA relies on the clinical judgment of our Medical Directors to evaluate and adjudicate clinical service requests. Medical Directors use their medical knowledge and experience to provide medical interpretation and determinations as to whether the services requested by the patient’s physician meets the patient’s healthcare plan’s criteria and sometimes nationally accepted clinical guidelines. Reviews may require engaging in peer-to-peer conversations with treating providers as necessary.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Using critical thinking skills, Medical Directors conduct coverage reviews based on individual patient/member plan benefits, and/or national and proprietary coverage review policies, then render coverage determinations.
• Interpret existing benefit language and policies in the process of clinical coverage reviews.
• Document clinical review findings and outcomes in accordance with policies and regulatory and accreditation requirements.
• Take part in peer-to-peer discussions with prescribing providers, as needed.
• Communicate and collaborate with other Medical Director colleagues.

Benefits

This busy opportunity allows physicians to work from home and provides them with a salaried (exempt) position, including a comprehensive benefits package. Benefits include healthcare insurance, vision and dental insurance, a 401(k)-retirement plan with a generous company match, 33 days of paid time off per year, and more.

Schedule Options

Option 1: Scheduled to work 40 hours per week, 5, 8-hours shifts, or 4, 10-hour shifts (after training), scheduled in staggered shifts between the hours of 6am to 7pm MST (8am – 9pm EST). The schedule includes a weekend rotation, with Medical Directors working 2-3 weekend days per month. 

Option 2: Scheduled to work 36 hours per week, with a minimum commitment of 4 weekend days per month, at the 40 hour per week salary. 4, 9-hours shifts scheduled in staggered shifts between the hours of 6am to 7pm MST (8am – 9pm EST). Weekend options could include working 2 weekends per month, or on Saturday every week.

Schedules are provided at least 60 days in advance. Note: this is not a flexible schedule, Medical Directors are assigned their scheduled hours and need to be dedicated to the job during their scheduled hours. Note: we do not have part-time positions available.
