Provider data underpins access to care, claims accuracy, pricing and payment integrity, care navigation, provider search, network adequacy, value-based care, medical cost management, regulatory compliance, customer service, and digital experience.

The Staff Vice President, Provider Data Solutions owns a portfolio of transformational projects that deliver a connected, end-to-end experience for all lines of business. The role sets priorities and manages initiatives for core provider systems and platforms – work that depends on close partnership across regional provider operations, government programs, operations, legal, compliance, benefits, and third-party vendors.
