• Coordinate with internal teams to confirm readiness prior to contract go-live.

Fee Schedule Management

• Own all payer fee schedules, including setup, validation, updates, and version control.

• Track issues and outcomes to identify trends and improvement opportunities.

Contract Change Management & Communication

• Act as the primary driver of communication for all contract updates, amendments, and renegotiation outcomes.
• Develop clear, timely, and accurate communications tailored to impacted departments.
• Maintain and update all contract-related resources to ensure ongoing accuracy and reliability.

Data Analysis & Impact Reporting

• Support contract renegotiations by analyzing fee schedule changes, reimbursement impacts, and operational implications.
• Produce reports that summarize financial and operational impact of contract changes.
• Partner with leadership to support decision-making through data-driven insights.

Resource & Documentation Management

• Maintain contract implementation documentation, playbooks, and reference tools.
• Ensure all internal resources reflect the most current contract terms and payer requirements.
• Support continuous improvement of implementation processes and tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration, Business, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3–5 years of experience in payer contracting, contract implementation, revenue cycle, or healthcare operations.
• Strong understanding of payer contracts, fee schedules, reimbursement structures, and operational workflows.
• Experience working cross-functionally with Billing/RCM, Intake, Operations, and Clinical teams.
• Advanced Excel and data analysis skills; experience with contract management systems preferred.
