To be successful in this role, you must be knowledgeable in healthcare reform concepts and the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). Additionally, knowledge of population health organizational models, technologies and program operations sufficient to take advantage of important synergies/opportunities in contract administration, cost containment, business growth/development, information systems support and regulatory compliance is required.
