Pros
Chart you future in value based care!
Rare opportunity to work on a team of top notch experts from across health plan and risk bearing provider operations and strategy, leveraging a company owned pop health / TPA operations platform to build, run and optimize health plans, IPAs, ACOs and ensure success in various types of value based payment arrangements.
Most firms in the space are either consulting or tech, CHS is a blend that not all only supports payer and provider clients but now operates its own IPA and ACO, leveraging the sane tech and experts.
Opportunities for learning and growth are unmatched, particularly with relation to capitation and delegation.
Cons
Hours can be long, much like management consulting, however with the firm actually operating client and firm affiliated IPA, ACO, health plan TPAs/MSos, UM, CM, EDW, etc the stakes are higher.
Client situations can be challenging, with a lack of clarity as information is gathered, no two engagements are the same, so success requires one to be a self starter with excellent communication and teamwork skills and the ability to manage up and organize/align either SMEs or with account team, depending on your role
