We need to remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employer, About Us sections? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Equal Opportunity Employer block. Also "About Us" sections maybe considered boilerplate? They are not strictly legal but could be considered "About Us" which might be considered not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Us" about CarePlus and Humana might be considered substantive? It's describing the company; could be considered relevant but maybe not required. However typical job posting includes that as "About the company". The instruction didn't explicitly say to remove About Us, but they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So About Us is not those; we could keep it as a section maybe "About the company". However we only have headings for specific categories: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no heading for About the company. So we might need to incorporate that info into existing sections, maybe under "About the role" or as a paragraph before sections. Since we cannot add new headings not listed, we should embed that info in appropriate existing sections, maybe as part of "About the role" (intro). The instruction: "use

Since we cannot add new headings not listed, we should embed that info in appropriate existing sections, maybe as part of "About the role" (intro). The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings. We should include sections only when posting has real specific content for it.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: we have intro 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." plus maybe the role description: "As the Senior Hospital Contracting Strategist/ Senior Provider Contracting Professional you will Lead negotiations for hospital and health system agreements, including reimbursement, contract terms, amendments, renewals, and value based agreements". That seems appropriate for About the role.
- Responsibilities: we have list of duties: Lead negotiations..., Extensive managed care experience..., Evaluate reimbursement methodologies..., Partner with Finance..., Communicate contract terms..., Analyze financial impact..., Maintain contracts..., Help with identifying and recruiting providers...
We should put those as - items.
- Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" section. That includes Bachelor's degree, 5+ years Hospital negotiation experience in Medicare, Leading negotiations..., 5+ years progressive network management..., Experienced in negotiating managed care contracts..., Analyze..., Understand..., Proficient in Microsoft Office.
We can put those as list.
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications": Master's Degree, Experience with ACO/Risk Contracting, Experience with Value Based Contracting.
- Skills: Could be derived from required qualifications like "Proficient in Microsoft Office: Word, Excel and PowerPoint" and maybe other skills like negotiation, financial analysis, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could still have a Skills section but might be redundant. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we could omit Skills if not enough distinct content.
- Benefits: we have description of benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), time off, disability, life insurance, etc. So we can include Benefits section.
- Pay: we have pay range $78,400 - $107,800 per year, bonus incentive plan. So include Pay.
- Schedule: we have "Scheduled Weekly Hours 40", "8am to 5pm EST", travel based on business needs, work at home requirements (internet speed, dedicated space), occasional travel. So we can include Schedule.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove application instructions (like "Application Deadline: 09-11-2026")? That's not exactly instruction to apply but it's a deadline. The instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline might be considered application instruction? Probably yes, we should remove it. Also "About Us" sections maybe not required but could be kept as part of About the role? Might be considered company overview; but we don't have a heading for that. Could embed in About the role as a paragraph.
We must preserve all substantive information; we need to ensure we don't drop any important details like travel based on business needs, work at home requirements, internet speed, dedicated space, PHI/HIPAA, occasional travel, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
