• Data Quality & Reconciliation: Demonstrated ability to perform root-cause analysis on claim denials, data discrepancies (e.g., mismatched subscriber IDs, invalid TINs, missing DOS), and unbilled/rebill workflows

Nice to have, but not necessary:

• Prior experience working within a Medicare Advantage health plan, MSO, or value-based clinical organization (e.g., IKC / ACO).
• Health Information certifications (e.g., RHIA, RHIT).
• Experience with business intelligence / visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) for executive MOR and JOC reporting
• Experience supporting EHR or data platform migrations

High-level responsibilities include:
