Medical Director, Practice Performance
Clover Health · Field · $253,000–$330,000 (stated in the posting)
This is not a traditional Medical Director role.
You’ll sit at the center of how Clover drives clinical quality, cost performance, and provider behavior change across our network—working directly with physicians to improve outcomes at scale.
Your mandate is simple:
turn data into action, and action into better care, better outcomes and more efficient care.
You’ll partner with clinicians on the ground, using data, coaching, and technology (Clover Assistant) to influence how care is delivered—day to day, patient by patient.
What you'll do:
- Partner directly with network physicians and care teams to improve quality, outcomes, and total cost of care
- Encourage network primary care physicians to refer patients to in-home care and other Clover Care Services when clinically appropriate, connecting patients with the care that best supports their needs and outcomes
- Identify performance gaps and translate data into clear, actionable clinical changes
- Coach providers (1:1 and group) on evidence-based care, documentation, and population health strategies
- Drive adoption and effective use of Clover Assistant in real clinical workflows
- Be the tip of the spear for implementation of clinical programs with partner providers
- Build trusted relationships with clinicians—serving as a peer advisor, not just a directive voice
- Collaborate routinely with fellow Medical Directors, account managers, Data Science, Operations, Analytics, and Provider Success to translate insights into coordinated action and align clinical and business goals
- Support and mentor market-level clinical leaders to drive performance across the network
What winning looks like:
- Measurable improvement in clinical quality metrics and patient outcomes
- Reduction in total cost of care through better clinical decision-making
- Increased provider engagement and consistent use of Clover Assistant
- Providers change behavior—not just understand the data
- Strong, trusted relationships across the provider network
Why this role is hard (and worth it):
- You’re influencing clinicians—without direct authority
- Changing clinical behavior is complex and requires trust, credibility, and persistence
- You’ll need to balance data, clinical judgment, and real-world constraints
- Your impact is highly visible—and directly tied to patient outcome
Who you are:
- MD or DO with an active, unrestricted license; board certified (Primary Care preferred)
- Clinically credible with 5+ years of practice experience
- Experience in value-based care, population health, or risk-based models (MSO, ACO, MA)
- Proven ability to influence and coach peer clinicians
- Comfortable using data to drive clinical decisions and behavior change
- High comfort with EMRs, clinical tools, and technology-enabled care models
- Strong communicator who builds trust quickly with physicians and care teams
