Allara is a comprehensive women’s health provider that specializes in expert, longitudinal care that supports women through every life stage. Trusted by thousands of women nationwide, Allara makes expert healthcare accessible by connecting patients with multidisciplinary care teams that have a deep understanding of hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive care. Allara provides ongoing support for hormonal conditions like PCOS, chronic conditions like insulin resistance, and life stages like perimenopause, helping patients see improved health outcomes. As one of the fastest-growing women’s health platforms in the U.S., Allara is bridging long-overlooked gaps in healthcare for women.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a resourceful Payer Contracting Specialist to accelerate our payer contracting efforts. This role will be a critical driver of expanding women’s access to Allara’s services across the country.
Being in-network on paper isn't the same as working in practice. Each new payer has its own written and unwritten requirements. You'll figure out what each new payer actually requires, how we need to work with them, and figure out the best way to contract. You'll run escalations to the root cause, and work with our teams to figure out solutions quickly. With time, you will take on working new contracts end-to-end, collaborating closely with other teams.
This is a mid-career position with unusual breadth, and an opportunity to expand into more complex payer relationship and ownership over time.
Location: Fully remote within the U.S.
Your Impact
Prepare, submit, and track payer applications for new health plan partnerships and service lines; provide surge support on follow-up, deficiency resolution, revalidations, and trackers.
Determine key contracting requirements, ensure accurate submission and track progress.
Audit how our providers appear in payer directories and chase corrections until they're live and members can actually find them.
Reconcile rosters against payer records on a recurring audit schedule, so discrepancies surface on a cadence rather than when a claim is denied.
Partner with Revenue Cycle to triage denials and figure out root causes.
Research and interpret payer policy: medical policy bulletins, telehealth and virtual care rules, prior authorization requirements, fee schedules, and provider manuals.
Codify what you learn. Turn each new payer's requirements and each resolved escalation into a durable internal reference so the next person doesn't start from zero.
Required Qualifications
We care much more about how you work than what's on your resume.
4+ years in provider data management, revenue cycle, denials, payer operations, credentialing, or healthcare administration. Internship or adjacent RCM experience counts.
2+ years contracting or credentialing experience specifically.
Genuinely self-directed. You manage your own queue without reminders, follow up without being asked, and treat a stalled item as a personal affront.
You enjoy the hunt. Being told "the policy is somewhere on their site" is interesting to you, not annoying.
Monitor payer dashboards and escalations; Resolve issues driven by payer contracting gaps.
Exceptional attention to detail. Wrong TIN, wrong taxonomy, wrong effective date - these are the difference between getting paid and not.
Comfortable on the phone with payers. A lot of this job is being politely persistent with someone who'd rather not help.
Strong with spreadsheets and quick to learn new systems and payer portals.
Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
Strong at follow-up to make sure contracts and solutions work as intended.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience with payer portals and clearinghouses (Availity, plan-specific portals)
Familiarity with commercial payer requirements; Medicare and Medicaid exposure is a plus
Multi-state telehealth, digital health, or high-growth healthcare experience

What We Do
Allara is a virtual care platform for women living with hormonal, metabolic, and gynecological conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and thyroid disorders. These conditions affect millions of women, yet they remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. The typical patient spends years bouncing between disconnected specialists, repeating her story, and leaving without a clear plan. We exist to fix that broken experience. Allara brings OB/GYNs, Endocrinologists, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Dietitians onto one connected care team. Instead of treating a single symptom in isolation, our clinicians look at the whole picture, from labs and medication to nutrition and lifestyle, and build a coordinated, evidence-based plan for each member. Care is delivered virtually, on the member's schedule, with the kind of continuity that traditional healthcare rarely offers for these conditions. Making that possible takes serious technology and clinical infrastructure. Our team builds and scales the systems behind the entire member journey: care delivery and messaging, scheduling, clinical and provider workflows, data pipelines, and the member-facing experience. Every part of the product connects directly to how well we can treat people. We treat women's health as the serious, science-backed field it has always deserved to be, and we're growing quickly in a market that legacy healthcare has overlooked for decades. It's a rare combination: a large, meaningful problem, real momentum, and a team small enough that your work is visible and matters.
Why Work With Us
We're a small, fast-moving team where engineers own real systems end to end and ship quickly. Modern stack, meaty problems, and a short line from your work to patient outcomes. If you want to build in a space finally getting the investment it deserves, this is the place.
