Additional Information

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.
