Charge Description Master Technician
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. We have Overview (POSITION SUMMARY) -> could be "About the role". Responsibilities -> "Responsibilities". Qualifications -> "Qualifications". Also there is "Other Skills And Abilities" which could go under "Skills". Also "MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EFFORT" maybe not needed as separate heading; could be part of Qualifications or Skills? Probably we can include under "Skills" or maybe not create a heading if not matching list. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Skills into Qualifications or have a separate Skills section if there is substantive content. There is "Other Skills And Abilities" which is a list of skills. So we can make a Skills section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like Navajo Preference Employment Act etc? That is part of the posting but it's not boilerplate? It's about preference; it's substantive? It's about hiring preference; could be considered part of Overview? It's not a standard section but we could include it in Overview paragraph. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Navajo Preference Employment Act is not exactly EEO but it's a preference policy; it's likely part of the job description and should be preserved. It's not boilerplate; it's specific to the employer. So we keep it.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the description, but we can format them into headings and lists.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does not, so omit.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
Include Navajo Preference Employment Act statement and POSITION SUMMARY.
Then Responsibilities
list each responsibility sentence as - items. The responsibilities list is long; we need to break into items. Could be each sentence starting with a verb. We'll need to parse.
Then
Qualifications
Education, Experience, etc. Could be a mix of prose and list. We'll put Education and Experience as
maybe with
for subpoints? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications we can list as
- for each bullet.
Then
Skills
list of Other Skills And Abilities.
We also have Mental and Physical Effort; maybe we can incorporate into Qualifications or Skills as a separate section? Could be "Requirements"? But we don't have a Requirements heading in list; we could use "Requirements" for mental/physical effort. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections; we could add a "Requirements" section for mental/physical effort. However we already have Qualifications; mental/physical effort could be part of Qualifications. But we need to preserve all info; we can include it as a under Qualifications.
Let's extract details.
First, Navajo Preference Employment Act paragraph:
"In accordance with Navajo Nation and federal law, TCRHCC has implemented an Affirmative Action Plan pursuant to the Navajo Preference in Employment Act. Pursuant to this Plan and corresponding TCRHCC Policy, applicants who meet the necessary qualifications for this position and (1) are enrolled members of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, or San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe will be given preference in hiring and employment for this position, (2) are legally married to enrolled members of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, or San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe and meet residency requirements will be given secondary preference, and (3) are enrolled members of other federally-recognized American Indian Tribes will be given tertiary preference."
Then Overview POSITION SUMMARY:
"The primary responsibility of the Charge Description Master Technician (CDMT) is the Hospital and Ambulatory Clinics chargemaster maintenance. The charge master maintenance is a continuous process that ensures all services are accurately charged and that the hospital and ambulatory clinics are compliant with government regulations for pricing and provides assurance that the organization receives accurate reimbursement. The CDMT must work with service area leaders and providers along with the Coding Supervisor to assure correct service item service code selection and charging of services. The CDMT must have mathematical skills and apply the appropriate pricing policy to each of the hospital and ambulatory clinic service items. Responsibilities will also include coordination of Charge Description Master tasks with the Revenue Integrity Coordinator for the purpose of two-way communication to the Clinical Service Leaders. The CDMT will provide assistance to the Director of Revenue and Reimbursement as applicable."
Now Responsibilities (Essential Functions) list:
We need to extract each bullet. The text after "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:" includes many sentences. Let's split by periods that start a new sentence with a capital letter after a period? Might be easier to manually list.
I'll copy the responsibilities section:
"ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areasCDMT much keep abreast of coding and reimbursement changes to ensure the hospital and ambulatory clinics optimize reimbursement and reduce claim denials and charge coding errors that assure the accurate maintenance of the charge description masterAnalyzes charges in the Charge Description Master (CDM) for appropriate coding and pricing.Utilizes resources within TCRHCC including output of charge review consultants and regulatory agencies for correct coding practices and new charges.Develops and implements training required to educate TCRHCC associates of changes, updates and additions to the CDM.

Assesses needs for training materials and ensures availability of appropriate materials and resources. Ensures regular meetings are conducted with PFS staff to provide In-service training on relevant issues as well as departmental and TCRHCC information. Notifies employees throughout TCRHCC of CDM process and system changes or updates.Ensure proper PPE is always worn while on duty including but not limited to, face mask, gloves, gown, isolation gown, NIOSH-approved N95 filtering facepiece respirator or higher, if available), and eye or face shield.

(see CDC website for most current updates)Complete task training for all routine cleaning and decontamination processes for all surfaces contaminated by a communicable disease to ensure a high level of patient, visitor, employee and external customer satisfaction.Performs other duties and special projects as assigned or required."
There are some typos: "CDMT much keep abreast" should be "must keep". We'll keep as is but maybe correct? We must not invent or summarize away detail; but we can correct obvious typo? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Correcting a typo could be considered altering detail. Safer to keep as is? But it's clearly a mistake; but we might keep the exact text. However the text is run-together missing spaces. We could add spaces for readability but that's altering. Might be okay to keep as is but it's hard to read. I think we should preserve the meaning but not change words. However the missing spaces could be considered formatting; we can add spaces without changing words? The words are concatenated: "areasCDMT" should be "areas CDMT". Adding a space is not adding new information, just fixing formatting. I'd argue it's acceptable to improve readability without altering substantive content. Similarly "much keep" is a typo; correcting "much" to "must" changes a word. That's substantive. Better to keep as is? But it's clearly a mistake; but we risk outputting incorrect grammar. I'd lean to keep as is because it's part of the posting. However the instruction says do not invent or summarize away detail; correcting a typo is inventing? It's altering. I'd keep original.
Thus we will output the responsibilities as list items, each sentence separated by a period. We'll need to ensure each item ends with a period.
Let's manually split:
1. Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areasCDMT much keep abreast of coding and reimbursement changes to ensure the hospital and ambulatory clinics optimize reimbursement and reduce claim denials and charge coding errors that assure the accurate maintenance of the charge description master
Wait that's a huge run-on. Actually the text: "Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areasCDMT much keep abreast of coding and reimbursement changes to ensure the hospital and ambulatory clinics optimize reimbursement and reduce claim denials and charge coding errors that assure the accurate maintenance of the charge description master"
It seems two sentences merged: "Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areas" then "CDMT much keep abreast...". We could split at "CDMT". So item1: "Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areas". Item2: "CDMT much keep abreast of coding and reimbursement changes to ensure the hospital and ambulatory clinics optimize reimbursement and reduce claim denials and charge coding errors that assure the accurate maintenance of the charge description master". But "much keep" is typo.
Proceed similarly.
Let's list all distinct actions:
- Analyzes and verifies charge selection accuracy as performed by the clinical service areas
- CDMT much keep abreast of coding and reimbursement changes to ensure the hospital and ambulatory clinics optimize reimbursement and reduce claim denials and charge coding errors that assure the accurate maintenance of the charge description master
- Analyzes charges in the Charge Description Master (CDM) for appropriate coding and pricing.
- Utilizes resources within TCRHCC including output of charge review consultants and regulatory agencies for correct coding practices and new charges.
- Develops and implements training required to educate TCRHCC associates of changes, updates and additions to the CDM.
- Coordinates training resources to provide training at staff meetings, in-services and more formal training when necessary.
- Works with TCRHCC Compliance Officer to analyze, interpret, distribute and communicate regulatory and contractual changes to TCRHCC departments as necessary including but not limited to action(s) required for compliance.
- Maintains database to track and monitor regulatory changes.
- Maintains records of action(s)
for prose. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
