Reimagining health insurance
At Curative, we're challenging the status quo in healthcare by removing barriers to care and creating a health plan experience that is transparent, proactive, and built around member health outcomes. As we continue to scale nationally, we're looking for a Senior Claims Integrity & Quality Auditor who is passionate about improving claims accuracy, reducing operational friction, and helping build a modern, technology-enabled claims organization.

You'll help design and execute the quality framework that drives payment accuracy, regulatory compliance, automation, and operational excellence across our claims ecosystem. You'll partner with Claims Operations, Configuration, Product, Compliance, and Technology teams to identify root causes, eliminate defects, and improve auto-adjudication performance. If you enjoy solving complex problems, improving systems, and influencing operational outcomes, we'd love to meet you.
