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.

Value Based Care Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a value based care in California?
The path depends on the specific function you are pursuing within value based care. Clinical roles require an active California license issued by the relevant board, such as the Medical Board of California for physicians or the California Board of Registered Nursing for nurses. Analytical and program roles typically require a degree in health administration, public health, or a related field, along with experience in managed care, quality improvement, or population health, and certifications such as the Certified Professional in Health Quality from NAHQ strengthen applications.
Which companies hire value based cares in California?
California value based care roles are posted by Ennoble Care, SCAN Health Plan, and Upperline Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's large integrated systems and Medi-Cal managed care plans are among the most consistent sources of value based care openings in the state.
Which California cities have the most value based care jobs?
San Francisco, Fontana, and Long Beach have the most value based care openings in California. Los Angeles leads because of its scale and concentration of major health plans and systems, while San Francisco and San Diego attract openings tied to academic medical centers, technology-forward health organizations, and the managed care infrastructure serving those large metropolitan populations.
Are there remote value based care jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most healthcare fields, because a meaningful portion of value based care work involves data analysis, care management coordination, quality reporting, and program administration rather than direct patient contact. About 100% of value based care openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how many roles can operate off-site. Population health analysts, risk adjustment coders, and utilization management reviewers are the positions most likely to offer fully remote arrangements.
How can I get hired as a value based care in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a care coordination or case management associate role at a California Medi-Cal managed care plan or an integrated system such as Kaiser Permanente or Dignity Health, both of which run structured associate and training programs for early-career candidates. Lateral moves from roles such as medical coding, health insurance customer service, or community health worker positions are common entry points. Earning a Certified Professional in Health Quality credential or completing a California-accredited health administration program gives candidates a measurable edge in a competitive applicant pool.
Where can I find and apply to value based care jobs in California?
You can find and apply to value based care jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings across health systems, managed care organizations, and community health programs. Search the listings to find roles that match your background and apply directly to the ones that fit your experience and location.
