JOB: QUALITY CONSULTANT/ MCR RPH CLINICAL OPS with Aetna/CVS pharmacy Title: QUALITY CONSULTANT/ MCR RPH CLINICAL OPS
Start Date : 2/12/2013 - PRESENT
Key Accomplishments: Position Summary
Working as an Administrative and clinical reviewer in my role as a Quality Consultant under the supervison of Angela Puerzer and Gregory Stephen are assisted by SAS programming in selecting potentially inappropriately rejected claims. The SAS program takes all daily rejected claims and applies administrative and clinical coding logic. Most of the daily rejects are filtered by the automated program logic. The program then produces a file of claims rejected for administrative codes and another for clinical reject codes; and these are then reviewed by the Quality Management team to determine whether further investigation is needed. After the initial review by the Clinical Reviewer any potentially inappropriate rejections which require further review by the Business Owner(s) are taken to the Daily Issues Resolution Workgroup (IRW)1 for research and discussion. Below is a graph of what Clinical resources we use for our job function:
