About Verse Medical
We’re building the software infrastructure that enables hospital-quality care, at home. As healthcare costs have increased, the patient’s home has become incredibly important as a site of care.
Yet, patients recovering at home are highly underserved. Patients can only get better at home if they receive the high-quality care that they need reliably. The existing in-home care process involves patchwork of different vendors, all connected through faxes by nurses. We’re building modern, robust software that solves this challenge. We currently work with patients and hospitals across the United States.
We’re backed by some of the best investors in technology and healthcare and have ambitious expansion plans. It’s a particularly exciting time to join the company as we’re aggressively expanding the team.
The Payor Relations Associate is primarily focused on building new payor relationships through enrollment in various local, regional, and national health plans. They will prioritize which plans to pursue to best drive revenue growth, apply to join those networks, and partner with the Strategy team to develop pitches that will be used during applications and negotiation.
