Sr. Contracting Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if real content. We have: Salary Range: $90,000-$125,000 annually | Commensurate with experience... So Pay section exists with salary range. Should we include "Commensurate with experience" as filler? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". So we need to include Pay section only if we have substantive content beyond filler. The salary range is substantive. The phrase "Commensurate with experience, qualifications, and demonstrated healthcare payer contracting..." is somewhat filler but still part of description. Might be okay to include both? The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So if the Pay section only contains that phrase, we should not include it. But we also have salary range, which is substantive. So we can include Pay section with the salary range and maybe also note that it's commensurate with experience? That phrase is filler but combined with range maybe okay. Safer: include Pay section with the salary range only, maybe omit the filler phrase. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can drop filler phrases. So we can keep salary range and drop the "Commensurate with experience..." sentence. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits section. Schedule: mentions HYBRID role with travel to New Providence CBO location. That's schedule info (hybrid, travel). So we can include Schedule section with that. About the role: we have introductory paragraphs describing role. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" section with bullet points (though not formatted as list). We need to convert to

• . Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading with bullet-ish lines. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications? But we have a Skills section only if there is specific content. The posting mentions "Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills." and "Preferable but do not require experience with health care Payor models..." That's skills. Could be Skills section. But we also have Requirements maybe overlapping with Qualifications. The posting has "Qualifications" and also earlier "We are seeking a strategic thinker and excellent negotiator..." That's more like Requirements. Could treat that as Requirements. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content: Paragraphs: - "This exempt role is a HYBRID role with travel to New Providence CBO location. Salary Range: $90,000-$125,000 annually | Commensurate with experience, qualifications, and demonstrated healthcare payer contracting, reimbursement, provider relations, contract administration, and analytical experience. We are seeking a strategic thinker and excellent negotiator for a hands-on role in payer contracting and reimbursement strategy across our multistate medical practice. This role is critical to ensuring optimal financial performance, sustainable growth, and strong relationships with Payors. This individual also responds to Payor inquiries, escalated claims and credentialing issues, and is a resource to communicate Payor policy across the organization. This individual will assist with payer contract administration, fee schedule tracking, payer inquiries, credentialing follow-up, contract implementation, payer issue tracking, and communication of payer policy updates across the organization. The position works closely with the VP of Payer Relations and Contracting, revenue cycle, credentialing, finance, operations, legal, and practice leadership to help ensure payer agreements and requirements are appropriately documented, communicated, and maintained. This position reports to the VP of Payer and Strategy Relations." Then heading: "Key Responsibilities" followed by bullet-like sentences (no actual bullet characters). Then "Qualifications" heading followed by lines. We need to create sections: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph(s) before Key Responsibilities. - Responsibilities: the bullet points under Key Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the "We are seeking a strategic thinker..." etc. Could be part of About the role. But we already have About the role; we could put that there. - Qualifications: the list under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe extract from qualifications: "Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills." and "Preferable but do not require experience with health care Payor models including fee-for-service, capitation, bundled payments, and value-based care models." Could be Skills. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: hybrid role with travel. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract content precisely. Intro paragraph(s): "This exempt role is a HYBRID role with travel to New Providence CBO location. Salary Range: $90,000-$125,000 annually | Commensurate with experience, qualifications, and demonstrated healthcare payer contracting, reimbursement, provider relations, contract administration, and analytical experience. We are seeking a strategic thinker and excellent negotiator for a hands-on role in payer contracting and reimbursement strategy across our multistate medical practice. This role is critical to ensuring optimal financial performance, sustainable growth, and strong relationships with Payors. This individual also responds to Payor inquiries, escalated claims and credentialing issues, and is a resource to communicate Payor policy across the organization. This individual will assist with payer contract administration, fee schedule tracking, payer inquiries, credentialing follow-up, contract implementation, payer issue tracking, and communication of payer policy updates across the organization. The position works closely with the VP of Payer Relations and Contracting, revenue cycle, credentialing, finance, operations, legal, and practice leadership to help ensure payer agreements and requirements are appropriately documented, communicated, and maintained. This position reports to the VP of Payer and Strategy Relations." We need to remove the Salary Range line from this paragraph for About the role? Since we will have Pay section separate. We should keep the substantive info but we can move salary to Pay. So About the role paragraph should exclude the Salary Range line and the "Commensurate with experience..." maybe keep as part of About? It's filler but maybe okay. Better to keep only substantive: "This exempt role is a HYBRID role with travel to New Providence CBO location. We are seeking a strategic thinker and excellent negotiator for a hands-on role in payer contracting and reimbursement strategy across our multistate medical practice. This role is critical to ensuring optimal financial performance, sustainable growth, and strong relationships with Payors. This individual also responds to Payor inquiries, escalated claims and credentialing issues, and is a resource to communicate Payor policy across the organization. This individual will assist with payer contract administration, fee schedule tracking, payer inquiries, credentialing follow-up, contract implementation, payer issue tracking, and communication of payer policy updates across the organization. The position works closely with the VP of Payer Relations and Contracting, revenue cycle, credentialing, finance, operations, legal, and practice leadership to help ensure payer agreements and requirements are appropriately documented, communicated, and maintained. This position reports to the VP of Payer and Strategy Relations." Now Responsibilities: Under "Key Responsibilities" we have: "Contract Strategy & NegotiationConduct negotiations with commercial insurers, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid MCOs, and other payers.Develop and execute contracting strategies that align with organizational goals and market dynamics.Analyze reimbursement models and propose innovative contracting arrangements.Understand and negotiate both ideal economic and non-economic contract termsFinancial Analysis & ModelingEvaluate contract performance, rate structures, and utilization trends.Collaborate with finance and analytics teams to model financial impact of proposed agreements.Monitor Payor compliance and identify opportunities for revenue optimization.Meet goals for revenue enhancementStakeholder CollaborationPartners with executive leadership, legal, revenue cycle, and clinical operations to align Payor strategies.Serve as liaison between the organization and Payor representatives.Educate internal stakeholders on contract terms, reimbursement policies, and Payor trends.Work with the operations team to optimize Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and value performance plans.Market Intelligence & Regulatory AwarenessRecommend and use outside services to provide market payment data and use to develop company negotiation strategiesStay abreast of federal and state regulations affecting reimbursement and Payor contracting.Monitor competitive market activity and Payor behavior across multiple states.Provide strategic insights to inform expansion, acquisitions, and service line development." We need to split into list items. The text seems to have headings like "Contract Strategy & Negotiation", "Financial Analysis & Modeling", "Stakeholder Collaboration", "Market Intelligence & Regulatory Awareness". Each heading followed by sentences without punctuation. We can treat each heading as a section? But we need
  • for list of duties. Could make each heading a
  • with its content. Thus:
  • Contract Strategy & Negotiation: Conduct negotiations with commercial insurers, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid MCOs, and other payers. Develop and execute contracting strategies that align with organizational goals and market dynamics. Analyze reimbursement models and propose innovative contracting arrangements. Understand and negotiate both ideal economic and non-economic contract terms.
  Similarly for others. Now Qualifications: Under "Qualifications" we have: "Bachelor's degree in finance, business, or health care or related fieldTrack record of successful negotiations skills.Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills.Preferable but do not require experience with health care Payor models including fee-for-service, capitation, bundled payments, and value-based care models." We need to split into list items. Probably each sentence separated by period but missing spaces. Let's parse: - Bachelor's degree in finance, business, or health care or related field - Track record of successful negotiations skills. - Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills. - Preferable but do not require experience with health care Payor models including fee-for-service, capitation, bundled payments, and value-based care models. We'll make
  • each. Now Skills: Could we separate skills from qualifications? The qualifications already include skills. But we could create a Skills section for "Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills." and "Experience with health care Payor models including fee-for-service, capitation, bundled payments, and value-based care models (preferable)". However that might duplicate. Better to keep Qualifications only and not create Skills unless there is distinct skills content not already in qualifications. The qualifications include skills; we could still create Skills section but risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we omit Skills section and keep qualifications. Pay: Salary Range: $90,000-$125,000 annually. We'll put that in

    under Pay section. Schedule: "This exempt role is a HYBRID role with travel to New Providence CBO location." We'll put that in Schedule section. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    for each section. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Check if any content missing: The description about reporting to VP etc is in About the role. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now produce HTML:
