    Uptown Psych is a premier outpatient mental health clinic in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago and Chicago, IL. We are seeking a Medical Director who collaborates with operational leadership and staff to establish, implement, support, and maintain clinical and operational processes related to benefit coverage determinations, quality improvement, and cost-effectiveness of service for patients. The Medical Director's activities primarily focus on the application of clinical knowledge in various utilization management activities with a focus on pre-service benefit and coverage determination or medical necessity (according to the benefits package), and on communication regarding this process with both network and non-network providers.
