American Academy of Value-Based Care (AAVBC) Location: Remote | Type: Part-Time or Full-Time Contract Reports To: Head of Strategy & Operations ABOUT THIS ROLE AAVBC is building the clinical backbone of value-based care — the documentation standards, coding frameworks, and educational tools that help providers get paid accurately and deliver better care. We're looking for a medically literate writer who wants to do work that actually matters. This is not a ghost-writing role for a hospital blog. You'll be translating ICD-10 coding frameworks, CMS-HCC models, and clinical guidelines (ADA, KDIGO, AHA, DSM-5, ASAM) into tools that practicing physicians use every day — treatment plan templates, SOAP note frameworks, coding guides, podcast scripts, and quick-reference materials. You'll work directly with clinicians, coders, and policy strategists to get the content right. If you're a medical student, PA/NP student, or early-career clinician who wants to build expertise at the intersection of clinical medicine, health policy, and healthcare finance — this is the role. What You'll Work On 1. Clinical Documentation & Coding Tools - Write and maintain MEAT-structured documentation templates for high-priority chronic conditions (HCC-relevant: T2DM, CKD, CHF, MDD, SUD, and others across the top 100 by RAF impact) - Build coding guides, quick-reference guides (QRGs), and clinical toolkits aligned with ICD- 10-CM, CMS-HCC V28/V29, CPT, HEDIS, and CMS Star Ratings - Develop SOAP note templates and treatment plan content that integrates documentation best practices for VBC settings and audit readinessc 2. Podcast & Educational Content - Script, produce, and edit podcast episodes covering VBC policy updates, coding changes, and clinical excellence topics - Own the full lifecycle: research → scripting → coordination with clinical SMEs → editing → publishing 3. Policy Translation - Monitor CMS, NCQA, and payer guideline changes and translate them into actionable writing deliverables - Produce briefs and summaries that help providers and their teams respond to regulatory shifts without needing a law degree 4. Collaboration & QA - Interview clinicians and coding auditors to validate content accuracy - Edit SME submissions to maintain quality, consistency, and clinical credibility across all AAVBC outputs Who We're Looking For Must-Haves - Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from medical school, PA, NP, or a related clinical program — OR — 1+ years writing for clinical or health policy audiences Ability to read and interpret clinical guidelines (you don't need to memorize them; you need to know how to use them) - Strong writer: clear, concise, structured — you can make a complex topic scannable without dumbing it down - High attention to detail, especially around clinical terminology, coding specifics, and regulatory language - Comfortable managing your own deadlines and projects with light oversight Nice-to-Haves - Familiarity with HCC models, MEAT documentation, HEDIS measures, or Medicare Advantage - Experience with clinical coding (CPC, CCS, CRC) or interest in gaining it - Podcast or audio production experience - Proficiency in Google Workspace, Notion, or similar tools What You'll Get - Hands-on exposure to the business of medicine — HCC risk adjustment, quality measurement, VBC contracting — the things med school doesn't teach - Byline-worthy work product that builds a professional portfolio - Direct collaboration with clinicians, medical directors, and health policy professionals - Competitive contract compensation - Flexible hours, fully remote Why AAVBC We're a small, high-output team building infrastructure that a lot of the healthcare industry needs but nobody has built well yet.
