Job Description
Associate General Counsel
ABOUT PIVOTAL HEALTH
Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement landscape.
Today, many providers face persistent underpayment from health insurance companies, despite delivering high-quality care. While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.
Pivotal Health combines software, data, and service into a seamlessly integrated, AI-driven platform that simplifies these complex reimbursement workflows. We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.
Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point. We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.

- Own the day-to-day contracting process: Establish clear review workflows and service levels that allow the business to move quickly while maintaining strong legal protections.
- Help build the company’s compliance foundation: Support the development of policies, procedures, and monitoring practices as we establish and scale our compliance program.
- Advise internal teams on operational risk: Partner with Operations and leadership to evaluate legal risks and help the company make informed, practical decisions.
- Support corporate governance and company operations: Work with the General Counsel on board materials, corporate filings, investor reporting, and other governance matters.
