What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Consulting Actuary position at Paytient?
About Paytient :
We're on a mission to help people better access and afford care.
Every day, millions of people, and their loved ones, need to see a doctor. For most of us, that moment is an uncertain one - we're unsure of what's wrong, who to go to, how long it'll take to be seen, when we'll feel better, and what it'll cost.
Paytient partners with thoughtful employers and health plans who understand the impact of that moment and want to ensure that every one of their plan members are easily able to access and afford care. Our clients understand that an improved ability to self-pay for care changes patient behavior and creates value for the health plan. This founding belief is becoming an emerging standard of care in health plan design and is now, in fact, a mandatory capability in some governmental health plans. Founded in 2018, Paytient is now part of nearly 6,000 employer health plans and providing certainty that people are better able to access and afford care.
We're looking for passionate, collaborative builders to join our team and help us create a future where everyone can more easily access and afford care.
