Job Description

About Alaffia & Our Mission Each year, the U.S. healthcare system suffers from over $500B in wasted spending due to medical billing fraud, waste, and administrative burden. At Alaffia, we’re on a mission to change that. We’ve assembled a team of clinicians, AI/ML engineers, and product experts to build advanced AI that finally bends the cost curve for all patients across our ecosystem. We’re a high-growth, venture-backed startup based in NYC and are actively scaling our company. About the Role We are seeking a clinically trained, detail-oriented Doctor of Medicine (MD) to support and lead clinical audit functions for our health plan partners. The ideal candidate will have experience performing clinical reviews of facility claims on behalf of payers, including DRG validation, readmission reviews, short stay assessments, and other medical necessity determinations.

Participate in QA, case discussions, and escalated appeal reviews. Stay current on regulatory and payer guidelines to ensure compliance and review integrity. Support new product initiatives and help train internal teams on clinical and audit protocols as needed. Advocate for the use of generative AI in healthcare by educating internal teams, external clients, and partners about its transformative potential. What We’re Looking For MD degree (active license preferred but not required).
