Shift: Shift 1 (Days)

FTE: 1.0 (Full-Time)

Overview

This is more than just a specialist position; it is a career pathway to transition into Compliance. We are dedicated to developing our internal talent and this role is designed for a high-performing individual looking to grow into senior leadership within the department. You will gain exposure to high-level regulatory strategy, risk assessment, development and deployment, and policy development setting the stage for professional advancement. The person who fills this role will have some chart review/auditing experience, some experience working on special administrative projects like process improvement, and a demonstrated willingness to learn and grow. While this role is compliance-focused, we place a high premium on the clinical perspective. We are seeking a professional who understands the realities of patient care — specifically someone with a background in Nursing or Quality. While active clinical licensure is not a requirement, having the "+clinical eye" to interpret medical necessity and complex charting is a distinct advantage.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive audits of medical records and services to verify medical necessity and accurate documentation.
• Develop training and "tips" for clinical staff helping providers understand the "why" behind documentation standards.
• Serve as the subject matter expert on CMS updates, the Two-Midnight Rule, and coverage criteria.
• Identify documentation risks and collaborate with leadership to implement policies that enhance patient care quality.

Education

• Bachelor's degree – preference for Healthcare Administration or a related clinical field.
• Nursing licensure preferred.

Experience

• At least 5 years of experience in a healthcare setting.
• Strong understanding of medical necessity criteria and charting standards.
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate complex regulations into actionable training for providers.
• A background in clinical care, Quality Assurance, or Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) is highly advantageous.

Credentials

• Certification in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) or to be attained within 18 months of hire.
