Summary:

· The Sr. Contract Implementation Analyst serves as primary resource for provider contracting build and implementation and testing of contract build and implementation, including UAT to ensure that systems accurately reflect a contract’s negotiated terms.

Performing such tasks as determining variances and explaining discrepancies, analyzing performance of contracts, reevaluating expected reimbursement when necessary, and gathering information about the volume of claims that were adjudicated by certain contracts are some of the needed tasks. This type of information is essential for gauging day-to-day or month-to-month expected reimbursement calculations and may be useful when renegotiating contracts.
