• Partner with internal stakeholders to drive opportunities to expand access to healthcare carrier networks or create network alternatives that improve affordability, access, and member experience in target geographies.
• Support strategic analysis of alternative network models, including tiered networks, cash-pay, value-based arrangements, narrow networks, and other access-expansion strategies.
• Quantify the pricing, access, and operational implications of networks and network alternatives and work with UW to ensure updated, accurate discounts are represented on proposals.
• Manage network onboarding, launch, and adoption.
