Description

  • Interpret state and federal Medicaid rules, eligibility structures, benefits, coverage policies, and guidance into documented analytic logic.
  • Advise customer leadership on data feasibility, definitions, thresholds, caseloads, costs, provider capacity, and policy-change implications.

  • Develop customer-facing dashboards, recurring reports, Excel analyses, leadership presentations, methodology decks, and decision memos.

  • Hands-on dashboard and reporting experience with QuickSight, Power BI, Tableau, and Excel, plus executive-ready presentation skills.

  • Sound judgment when handling sensitive data and PHI, along with compliance with security policies.
  • Preferred: state Medicaid agency, Medicaid contractor, consultancy, managed care plan, or California Medi-Cal experience.
  • Preferred: population health experience in risk stratification, registries, care management, network adequacy, or access and equity.
