Temporary Pharmacist (Part-time)

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the "12 Angry Seniors." Their mission continues to guide everything we do.

Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.

Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.

At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen-not dilute-our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

This position will play an instrumental role in ensuring compliance and clinical appropriateness of Part D coverage determinations, appeals and grievances, and Part C organizational determinations for a senior-focused Medicare Advantage Plan. The Clinical Pharmacist will work alongside the Director to execute and ensure CMS compliant operations and strong star rating performance for these areas. In addition, the Clinical Pharmacist will support Interdisciplinary Care Team work, and complete medication-related clinical reviews to support the care management teams at SCAN. The Clinical Pharmacist will participate in other managed care responsibilities as assigned.
