An Associate Medical Director will be joining a dynamic experienced clinical team that provides quality health care as a health plan entity for the members of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming.

Your core responsibilities include the aspects of utilization management as guided by medical policy for both medical and pharmacy benefits. Population Health is a new health plan endeavor that assists our members by case management, innovative health services, quality improvement projects and aspects of social determinants of health concerns. Our network of approved Wyoming licensed providers requires comprehensive credential reviews. An important expectation is to share your clinical expertise with a variety of departments at BCBS of Wyoming.
