Company mission
To make healthcare more affordable and accessible through its consumer-friendly platform.
Role
Who you are
- Experience working on technical projects across the stack (we don’t have a hard requirement, but generally this comes with 2+ years of professional software development experience)
- Experience with at least one major coding language (we mostly use Python and Typescript, but knowing these is not a requirement)
- Excitement about our mission and a passion for solving problems to improve the healthcare financial experience
What the job involves
- As part of our vision to create a smoother patient billing experience, we are in need of a Software Engineer II to join our Patient Communications squad
- Our team focuses on empathetically engaging with patients across various communication channels to help them understand and improve their healthcare finances
- We aim to balance the success of our individual clients with the ability to scale our platform and improve the experience for all patients
- Develop, test, and maintain features touching both frontend and backend systems
- Collaborate with your product, design, and data partners to deliver new features and enhancements
- Grow to lead future projects impacting a large number of patients
Our take
Over $1 billion is said to be lost annually by physicians as a result of inefficient and disjointed healthcare billing practices. The subsequently low patient satisfaction rates lead to poorer care, and real losses for providers who see patients switching away from their plans.
Cedar looks to remedy these issues with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance and healthcare processes. Healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, so optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern - a great opportunity for the company.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar netted substantial funds and launched its Payer Intelligence Layer. This allows it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. The company was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division, to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology.
