The position directs and coordinates critical data requirements, data analysis, reporting protocols and follow-up related to TPR activities. Additionally, the position is responsible for identifying opportunities to develop and implement TPL program policy changes to decrease Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse; improve compliance with federal and state TPL rules and regulations; and/or reduce inefficiencies related to TPL activities performed by Medicaid vendors and the MCOs/DMOs. This position is also responsible for knowing and adhering to procurement and contracting policies, rules, and statutes. Participates in other contract management and programmatic activities as assigned. Works under minimal supervision with extensive latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment.
