Learn more about what we offer at Humana.com and at CenterWell.com. Equal Opportunity Employer ..." We need to remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employer, Application Deadline maybe? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Application Deadline is considered application instruction? Probably remove. Also "About Us" sections maybe considered boilerplate? It's not strictly legal but could be considered company description; but we need to preserve substantive information. The "About Us" about CarePlus and Humana may be considered company overview, not essential to job? Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly prohibited. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we can keep About Us if not duplicated. However "About Us" might be considered generic but not prohibited. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep substantive info about the role, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. The "About Us" is not directly about the job but could be considered substantive about the company. Might keep but could be considered filler. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine into a single "About the company" but not listed as allowed heading. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit content into those headings only. So we cannot have a separate "About Us" heading. We could incorporate company info into "About the role" maybe. But we must not invent headings. So we should omit About Us sections if they don't fit allowed headings. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can omit About Us entirely. Thus we need to map content to allowed headings. We have: - About the role: could include introductory description: "Become a part of our caring community The Senior Hospital Contracting Strategist / Senior Provider Contracting Professional initiates, negotiates, and executes physician, hospital and other provider contracts and agreements for an organization that provides health insurance. You will report to the Director, Provider Contracting." - Responsibilities: list of duties: Lead negotiations for hospital and health system agreements, including reimbursement, contract terms, amendments, renewals, and value based agreements; Extensive managed care experience... Actually that's more qualifications. Let's separate. Responsibilities bullet list: - Lead negotiations for hospital and health system agreements, including reimbursement, contract terms, amendments, renewals, and value based agreements - Evaluate reimbursement methodologies, including DRG, PD, Case Rates, POC, OP fee schedules, and alternative payment arrangements - Partner with Finance, Medical Economics, Legal, Network Management, Claims, Configuration, and Operations to ensure contracts are financially sound and operationally executable - Communicate contract terms, payment structures, and reimbursement rates to providers - Analyze financial impact of contracts and terms - Maintain contracts and documentation within a tracking system - Help with identifying and recruiting providers based on network composition and needs - Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" includes Bachelor's degree, 5+ years hospital negotiation experience in Medicare, etc. But we also have a separate "Qualifications" heading allowed. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have both Requirements and Qualifications. Likely Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? Or we can split: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills could be separate list like Microsoft Office proficiency. Thus: Requirements (h3): - Bachelor's degree - 5 or more years of Hospital negotiation experience in Medicare - Leading negotiations for hospital and health system agreements, including reimbursement, contract terms, amendments, renewals, and value based agreements (maybe duplicate with responsibilities) - 5 or more years of progressive network management experience including hospital contracting and network administration in a healthcare company - Experienced in negotiating managed care contracts with Hospital systems inclusive of post acute, ancillary providers and physicians. - Analyze, understand and communicate financial impact of contract terms, payment structures and reimbursement rates to providers. - Understand and interpret Hospital contract language - Proficient in Microsoft Office: Word, Excel and PowerPoint Qualifications (h3) (Preferred): - Master's Degree - Experience with ACO/Risk Contracting - Experience with Value Based Contracting Skills (h3): maybe we could list specific skills like negotiation, financial analysis, relationship management, etc. But we already have many in responsibilities/requirements. Could create a Skills section summarizing: Hospital contracting, reimbursement methodologies, financial analysis, complex negotiations, provider relationship management, leadership, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, value-based contracting, DRG, PD, Case Rates, POC, OP fee schedules, alternative payment arrangements, cross-functional collaboration, communication, financial impact analysis, contract tracking, provider recruitment, Microsoft Office proficiency. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can list them as bullet points derived from text. Benefits (h3): from Description Of Benefits: medical, dental and vision benefits, 401(k) retirement savings plan, time off (including paid time off, company and personal holidays, paid parental and caregiver leave), short-term and long-term disability, life insurance and many other opportunities. Pay (h3): $78,400 - $107,800 per year, plus bonus incentive plan based on company/individual performance. Schedule (h3): Scheduled Weekly Hours 40, 8am to 5pm EST, Travel based on business needs, occasional travel to Humana's offices for training or meetings may be required. Work at Home Requirements: internet speed etc. Also "Work from a dedicated space lacking ongoing interruptions to protect member PHI / HIPAA information." That's schedule/working conditions. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:
