• Work with CMS, MACs, and SMEs to understand beneficiary, eligibility, provider, claims history, claimstatus, adjudication, and pricing/editing dependencies.
• Lead complex datamigration activities including sourcesystem analysis, mapping, transformation, reconciliation, historicaldata use, data quality, and migration validation.
• Ensure migration/integration designs incorporate historical claims information, accumulators, beneficiary/eligibility attributes, and provider data required to process future claims.
• Coordinate implementation planning with ClaimsCore adjudication services and CMS shared services (e.g., CWF, PECOS, HIGLAS, pricing/editing services).
• Drive resolution of crossteam dependencies, technical issues, architectural decisions, risks, and implementation blockers.
• Develop executivelevel status updates, recommendations, risk assessments, and implementationreadiness materials.
• Support production planning including MAC onboarding, phased implementation waves, cutover, operational readiness, and stabilization.
• Define measurable entry/exit criteria and completion evidence for major implementation milestones.
• Facilitate technical working sessions with CMS, MACs, vendors, and engineering teams, translating discussions into clear decisions and accountable actions.
• Provide leadership to multidisciplinary teams and assume responsibility for a major ClaimsCore production workstream.
