Who we are:

Better Health is creating a new kind of care platform, built on peer to peer connection.

Our solution bundles peer coaching, education, and home delivery of medical supplies for people with chronic conditions. We don't just help our members discover and purchase the best medical supplies. We provide support that they can't get anywhere else, and match them with a peer coach who lives with the same condition. The result? Improved mental health, reduced overutilization of care, and a 97% customer satisfaction rating.

Since inception in November 2019, Better Health has gained Medicare licenses in 46 states, 16 Medicaid licenses, and preferred national provider contracts with Cigna, Humana, and Oscar Health, among others. This has allowed our member base to rapidly grow month to month with very low churn. We are backed by Caffeinated Capital, General Catalyst, Mastry, 8VC, Bill Ackman, as well as several prominent entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders.

With our rapid growth, we are looking to hire a remote Credentialing Associate to support our network expansion.

• Complete and submit new applications to payers, identifying and addressing any barriers that may arise
• Manage payer contracts, including tracking contract status, generating reports on in-network payers, and providing support in response to questions on payer status
• Build and maintain positive relationships with payers, crafting credentialing application appeal letters and working to establish relationships with credentialing departments to secure new contracts.
• Coordinate discussions between Better Health leadership and target payers to accelerate the contracting process and achieve successful outcomes.
• Execute administrative duties, including maintaining lists of payer application statuses, prepare reports on in-network payers, and assist operations in answering questions on payer status

What you get:

• Competitive salary + equity package

• Join a team committed to improving the lives of those living with chronic conditions

But most importantly, here at Better Health, our mission is to bring information, access, and support to people managing chronic conditions at home. Our diverse team is united by our shared values to:

• Take patients seriously and treat them well. Shift mindset: our members have choice, they are smart, they're right. We follow-through our commitments.
• Lead with curiosity, kindness and a solution mindset. Get to the root of things, dig deeper, support our members and each other
• Pursue growth and move fast to maximize impact. Pursue growth personally and organizationally, be comfortable with change, be open to giving and receiving feedback to continually improve, source many opinions and then make fast decisions.

If you're fired up at the thought of revitalizing an archaic $60 billion home medical device industry and passionate about user-focused solutions, join us!
