Position Summary

CVS Health, a Fortune 6 company, has an outstanding opportunity for a Medical Director (Medical Affairs).

This is a full-time, remote based, work from home opportunity.

The Medical Affairs department provides clinical business support to the entire enterprise and provides clinical oversight and mentorship for CVS Health clinical programs, PBM Clinical Quality activities, consultative support to the P&T process, formulary development, drug information services and pipeline activities, and clinical leadership to various internal departments (e.g., specialty pharmacy services, clinical product development, Enterprise Analytics, Compliance, Legal, Accreditation) and clients.

Job Description

Medical Directors at CVS Health are encouraged to model the highest levels of clinical integrity, knowledge and cross functional thinking and decision making. Medical Directors represent the clinical decision making and professional thought process of the prescriber as a partner across the enterprise's decisions and planning.

The Medical Director transacts Utilization Management (UM) activities (prior authorization and appeals) and responds to prescriber inquiries related to UM transactions and more generally related to CVS Health coverage policies.

The Medical Director will report to a Senior Medical Director in the Medical Affairs Department and is responsible for clinical support and consultative activities across the PBM. In this role you may provide consultative clinical support to Account Management in support of Key Clients as assigned.

Directors will spend a portion of most days completing assigned medication utilization reviews and/or medical necessity appeals for commercial clients, governmental (Medicare/Medicaid) programs and individual client requested coverage determinations or appeals when appropriate. If specifically assigned to one business segment (i.e., Medicare clients), each director will become sufficiently skilled in various UM programs to support other segments (including commercial and Medicaid) on evening and weekend coverage.

Medical Directors will participate in inter-rater review activities and other quality oversight processes for internal Director UM decisions.

Each Director may be responsible for providing oversight of a portion of CVS Health's clinical programs and commercial client program support and may share in reviews of utilization management criteria and clinical policy revisions/reviews.

Medical Directors may perform a share of special clinical investigations and research as requested by the Senior Medical Director. These projects can include brief reviews of published literature around specific pharmaceutical questions or more in-depth projects requiring collaboration with pharmacists within Medical Affairs and in business units outside of the Department.
