This role will be responsible for developing referral partnerships, improving admissions performance, and driving sustainable census and revenue growth while maintaining high standards for clinical appropriateness and compliance.

• Identify new market opportunities, referral sources, strategic partnerships, and specialty programs.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with hospitals, discharge planners, case managers, physicians, ACOs, managed care organizations, and other referral partners.

Team Leadership

Admissions & Payer Management

• Standardize referral intake, clinical review, bed-offer, and admission processes across facilities.

• Oversee payer verification and authorization processes for Medicare, MassHealth, managed care, and other payers.

• Partner with Administrators and Directors of Nursing to ensure admissions are clinically appropriate and supported by each facility's staffing, services, and capabilities.

• Promote timely and accurate communication with residents, families, referral sources, payers, and facility teams.

• Coordinate payer and hospice contract development in partnership with Finance, Operations, and Legal.

Reporting & Performance

• Report regularly to senior leadership on key business development and census metrics.

• Track occupancy against budget and approved targets.

• Monitor payer mix, referral volume, referral-to-admission conversion, response times, denials, and lost-referral trends.

• Develop corrective action plans when facilities or teams are not meeting established goals.

• Manage the business development budget and approved market-development initiatives.

Compliance

• Ensure referral, marketing, contracting, and admission practices comply with applicable federal and Massachusetts requirements.

• Maintain a strong focus on resident rights, nondiscrimination, privacy, admission requirements, and applicable fraud-and-abuse laws.

• Ensure business development and census goals never supersede clinical appropriateness, resident choice, facility capabilities, or regulatory requirements.

• Partner with Operations, Clinical Leadership, Finance, Human Resources, and Legal on compliance and risk-management matters.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required; masters degree, RN licensure, or LNHA preferred.

• 7+ years of skilled nursing/post-acute admissions or business development experience, including at least 3 years leading multi-facility teams.

• Strong knowledge of Medicare Part A, MassHealth, managed care authorization, and PDPM.

• Experience with PointClickCare and CRM/referral management platforms preferred.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

• Strong leadership, relationship-building, communication, and analytical skills.
