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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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. The right person for this role will leave having written things that real providers use, understanding how value-based care actually works financially, and with relationships across a network of serious clinical and operational professionals.

AAVBC is an equal opportunity organization. We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse clinical backgrounds and perspectives
