Non-clinical medical jobs and careers at Medsolutions

MedSolutions is a healthcare utilization management company serving payers by overseeing their high-tech radiology spend and ensuring safe and quality care for their covered members. MedSolutions also serves healthcare providers in educating them on appropriate imaging utilization.

MedSolutions began in 1992 as an owner/operator of diagnostic imaging centers, but quickly saw an increasing need in the managed care industry for intensely focused radiology benefits management. In 1997, we sold our diagnostic imaging centers and MedSolutions set out to focus solely on managing the cost of imaging and helped pioneer the new industry of radiology benefits management. We soon established ourselves as the industry leader, helping healthcare payers control the soaring costs in radiology.

Today, MedSolutions has taken the clinical knowledge, proprietary technology, and forward thinking we perfected in radiology management and applied it to other areas of healthcare where we see opportunity for significant improvement, both in quality of care and in cost savings to health plans. MedSolutions continues to evolve to meet the challenges of the healthcare industry through Intelligent Cost Management, developing and introducing new services that extend beyond utilization management to capture maximum savings, reduce overall treatment costs, and ensure diagnostic accuracy.

MedSolutions offers career opportunities to become part of this new trend in healthcare – where technology and clinical expertise come together. Gregg P. Allen, M.D., serves as the Executive Vice President & Chief Medical Officer. MedSolutions has career opportunities related to clinical information review (mostly done by nurses),  information technology, customer service, management, administration and more.

Congratulations to one of our physician clients who was offered a non-clinical job!

One of our physician clients who's currently receiving career coaching from us here at NonClinicalJobs.com was offered a non-clinical job recently. I can't go into details because of confidentiality reasons, but this particular job falls into the category of "administrative medicine" and it would be a complete career transition for this individual who is currently working full-time as a practicing physician in the United States.  Will this individual retire from full-time clinical medicine to pursue this non-clinical job opportunity? Will this individual pursue other potential opportunities? We'll have to wait and see... 

Careers in administrative medicine aren't for everyone. Imagine spending 100% of your time reviewing charts for admission status certification, dealing with claims/bills/reimbursement, auditing billed services, and focusing on regulatory guidelines and utilization management. Does that sound fun? Some administrative medicine jobs may be more interesting if it involves some travel, some face-to-face interactions with clients, some strategic consulting opportunities, and some direct staff management.
