About the Role
At Optum, we want to make healthcare work better for everyone. This depends on hiring the best and brightest.
We have a thriving ecosystem of investment and innovation, with our business in Ireland constantly growing to support the future's healthcare needs.
Our teams are at the forefront of building and adapting the latest technologies to propel healthcare forward in a way that better serves everyone.
Todays' Revenue Cycle Management is inherently complex due to opaque and payer-specific adjudication rules, incurring significant waste and inefficiency.
Optum Insight is committed to delivering new technology and processes to improve the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) workflow using advances in Gen AI and other state-of-the-art technology.
This benefits all stakeholders involved in the healthcare ecosystem — payers, providers, and patients.
