Description

The Implementation Specialist is responsible for managing the successful implementation of Medicare reporting solutions for clients across a range of business and technical environments. This role serves as a key liaison between business and technical clients and internal teams to understand client requirements, configure solutions, support data integrations, and guide implementations from initial planning through production. The ideal candidate combines strong client-facing and project management skills with technical knowledge of APIs, data integration, and system-to-system connectivity. The Implementation Specialist must be comfortable working with both business stakeholders and technical stakeholders responsible for integrating their systems with the reporting solution.

• Coordinate client activities with Product, Technology, Support, Operations, and other internal teams.
• Identify and resolve implementation risks, issues, and dependencies.
• Guide clients on Medicare reporting requirements, product capabilities, and implementation best practices.

Technical Integration

• Partner with client technical teams on system integrations, including configuration, data mapping, and testing.
• Troubleshoot integration issues and engage internal technical teams as needed.
• Validate integrated data against business, technical, and reporting requirements.
• Help clients interpret errors and identify whether issues stem from source data, integration logic, or the reporting solution.
• Document requirements, technical decisions, test results, and production readiness.

Medicare Reporting & Data

• Build expertise in MSP, Section 111, and other Medicare reporting requirements.
• Help clients align business processes and claim data with Medicare reporting requirements.
• Review client data for quality or reporting issues that may affect implementation.
• Support configuration and testing of reporting rules, claim eligibility, RRE requirements, and related processes.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain implementation, technical, process, and client documentation.
• Improve implementation processes, documentation, standards, and client experience.
• Develop implementation best practices, templates, checklists, and resources.
• Share client needs, recurring integration issues, and product enhancement opportunities with Product and Technology.

Success in This Role

Success in this position means clients can confidently move from implementation to production with a well-understood, thoroughly tested, and sustainable Medicare reporting integration. The Implementation Specialist is expected to be able to independently manage the business and implementation aspects of a project while having sufficient technical depth to understand API integrations, investigate issues, and effectively partner with client developers and internal technical teams.
