• Direct experience working with health plans, payers, managed-care organizations, or related healthcare operations.
• Strong understanding of payer workflows such as utilization management, claims processing, care management, member engagement, member services, or administrative operations.
• Practical expertise with large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow automation, copilots, and agentic AI patterns.
• Experience designing and implementing AI solutions in regulated environments, with a strong understanding of privacy, security, HIPAA compliance, reliability, governance, and responsible AI.
