Job Description

Help us lead change and transform the member experience.

The health care industry is changing, and Wellmark is working to help change it for the better. We recognize that our clients deserve health care with a focus on quality – not quantity – of care. We also recognize that health care is complex. We’re working to ensure our organization is positioned to drive deeper understanding of solutions that help our clients navigate the system and make clear, informed decisions, and we’re ensuring that we take a team-centric approach to providing that analysis to our clients.

The work that our Client Solutions teams are doing in collaboration with our business partners will create these changes, all while working to minimize health care costs.
