Location: Fall River, MA
Job Type: Full - Time

Job Description:

Under the direction of the Chief Medical Officer, the Quality & Risk Clinical Coordinator (“Clinical Coordinator”) plays an essential role in managing the successful acquisition and reporting of quality metric data and risk coding to Steward Healthcare and other insurance companies.

The Clinical Coordinator will become familiar with national best practices for meeting quality metrics, and will assist offices with successful patient outreach for appointments and testing. The Clinical Coordinator will become familiar with the basics of ICD-10 risk coding and will participate in the workflow in each office in order to accurately code chronic conditions annually.

The Clinical Coordinator will communicate regularly with colleagues in Steward Healthcare, CareMax, Senior Whole Health, United Healthcare, and any other insurance companies where Prima CARE is “at risk” for quality and coding. The Clinical Coordinator will update Prima CARE on the requirements for meeting quality and coding targets and will update Prima CARE about any changes to these requirements.

The Clinical Coordinator will review the electronic medical record, eClinicalWorks (eCW) for clinical data, scheduled testing, exclusion criteria for specific quality measures, and for documentation that supports risk coding. The Clinical Coordinator will work closely with the Data Coordinator to organize quality data in a format suitable for reporting to each insurance company, and will help create rosters of patients who require annual visits, testing to meet quality metrics, or who have “gaps” in their risk coding.
