• Assess the full impact of proposed changes across claims adjudication, pricing, benefits, provider reimbursement, encounters, remittance, financial processing, reporting, and downstream integrations.
• Determine whether an issue is caused by configuration, data, policy interpretation, user processing, interface behavior, product functionality, or another upstream or downstream dependency.

Data Analysis, Root Cause Analysis, and Production Support

• Write and execute complex SQL queries to analyze claims, claim lines, provider affiliations, contracts, benefits, pricing, member eligibility, edits, accumulators, encounters, and financial data.

• Perform claim-level and population-level root cause analysis for denials, pends, unexpected edits, underpayments, overpayments, duplicate conditions, encounter rejections, and other processing anomalies.

• Support production incidents, client inquiries, audit requests, configuration defects, data fixes, and ad hoc reporting needs.
• Validate configuration changes through targeted data analysis, claims testing, regression review, and post-implementation monitoring.

Qualifications

• 9+ years of hands-on, highly proficient QNXT configuration experience, with demonstrated depth in contracts, benefits, fee schedules and multiple payment methodologies, capitation, rules, successful data points for X12 transactions, and CARC/RARC processing.
• Thorough understanding of relational database concepts, healthcare data models, schemas, keys, and data relationships.
