  • Negotiate or support negotiations related to network participation, provider effective dates, closed panels, retroactive enrollment, reimbursement arrangements, and contract exceptions.
  • Lead credentialing activities associated with new office openings, acquisitions, mergers, provider transitions, and market expansion.
  • Develop dashboards and reports for application status, aging, provider readiness, recredentialing, expirables, audit compliance, and staff productivity.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and identify bottlenecks, recurring payer issues, and opportunities for automation.
  • Perform routine quality audits of credentialing files and enrollment records.

We are looking for someone who brings:
  • Bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, business, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • At least five years of progressive credentialing, provider enrollment, payer relations, or network management experience.
  • At least three years of leadership or direct staff-management experience.
  • Significant credentialing experience within a dental service organization, multi-location dental group, or comparable multi-unit healthcare environment.
  • Extensive experience with dental Medicaid enrollment, revalidation, managed Medicaid plans, and state-specific provider enrollment requirements.
  • Demonstrated experience managing delegated credentialing programs and payer audits.
  • Experience negotiating with payers, provider relations representatives, government agencies, and/or healthcare providers.
