Nonprofit health plan serving 1M+ members across Upper Midwest and beyond
Medica operates a multi-state nonprofit health plan with over a million members across Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas, structured around a modern cloud-native stack (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Snowflake). The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward finance and healthcare operations (82 of 199 open roles), with data and product roles trailing — a signature profile of a regulated payer scaling compliance and product depth rather than pursuing platform consolidation. Active projects span payer-platform modernization, fee schedules, utilization management, and ACA risk models, while pain points cluster around CMS compliance, Medicare performance, and reducing manual processes in self-funded products.
