  • Quantify the financial impacts to healthcare providers, patients, manufacturers, and other stakeholders from proposed and finalized regulatory changes through CMS proposed and final rules.
  • Summarize qualitatively and quantitatively key changes pertinent to clients from legislative and regulatory proposals.
  • Analyze Medicare claims and other healthcare datasets to inform business and policy strategy recommendations for clients and prepare reports of findings to support policy/advocacy activities.

Qualifications:

  • Experience developing CBO-like cost estimates for proposed legislation.
  • Familiarity with traditional Medicare fee-for-service payment policies (e.g., outpatient prospective payment system, hospital inpatient prospective payment system, Medicare physician fee schedule)
  • Experience quantifying the financial impacts of proposed and final rules from CMS on healthcare providers.
  • In-depth knowledge of SAS
  • Familiarity with major healthcare industry stakeholders (associations, advocates, and government agencies).
  • Experience analyzing Medicare claims data and/or other large data sets.

Education:
