Medicaid Assistant information

What is a Medicaid assistant?

Medicaid Assistants are professionals who help individuals and families navigate the Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to eligible low-income people. Their duties often include assisting with applications, verifying eligibility, gathering required documentation, and answering questions about Medicaid benefits and processes. They may work in hospitals, clinics, social service agencies, or government offices. Medicaid Assistants play a crucial role in ensuring that applicants receive the benefits they are entitled to and understand their healthcare options.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a Medicaid assistant?

To thrive as a Medicaid Assistant, you need strong knowledge of Medicaid policies, eligibility requirements, and experience in medical or social services administration. Familiarity with Medicaid management information systems (MMIS) and data entry software is typically required, along with any relevant certifications in healthcare administration. Excellent interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities help you effectively assist clients and navigate complex regulations. These skills ensure accurate processing of applications and support, leading to better access to healthcare services for eligible individuals.

What challenges do Medicaid assistants face when supporting applicants through the enrollment process?

Medicaid Assistants often encounter challenges such as navigating complex eligibility requirements, managing large caseloads, and helping applicants gather necessary documentation. They must be adept at explaining program rules and timelines to applicants who may have limited familiarity with the healthcare system. Additionally, Medicaid Assistants frequently collaborate with social workers, healthcare providers, and government agencies to resolve issues and ensure timely application processing.

Job description

Part-Time Illinois Medicaid Long-Term Care Specialist (30 Hours/Week)

Verified Medicaid Case Experience Required – Illinois Experience Strongly Preferred

We are seeking a highly experienced Medicaid professional with direct, verifiable, hands-on experience managing Long-Term Care Medicaid cases from application through approval, appeals, and reopening denied cases.

This is NOT an entry-level position.
General Medicaid knowledge alone is NOT sufficient.

Out-of-state Medicaid experience will be reviewed; however, Illinois Medicaid experience is strongly preferred, as each state operates independently with different systems, policies, and procedural requirements.

MANDATORY QUALIFICATIONS – DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS

The candidate must have verifiable, direct experience with:

  • Filing Long-Term Care Medicaid applications

  • Managing cases from initial filing through approval

  • Working directly with Medicaid caseworkers to resolve pending issues

  • Handling OIG-related matters

  • Preparing and managing appeals, including participation in administrative hearings

  • Reopening denied cases and understanding procedural requirements

  • Managing strict filing deadlines and timely submission requirements

  • Tracking deadlines related to:

    • Backdating coverage

    • Appeals filings

    • Reconsiderations and reopening denied cases

Strong Preference Given To Candidates With Illinois Experience Including:

  • Filing applications through the ABE (Application for Benefits Eligibility) system

  • Using the MEDI system to verify eligibility and monitor case status

  • Working knowledge of the Illinois Medicaid Policy Manual

  • Experience with Illinois Long-Term Care billing practices and reimbursement timelines

Illinois experience must be clearly reflected on your resume and will be verified.

Preferred Additional Experience

  • Experience using PointClickCare (PCC) software

  • Experience working within a long-term care facility environment

  • Understanding how Medicaid eligibility impacts facility billing cycles

Key Responsibilities

  • File and manage LTC Medicaid applications

  • Monitor eligibility and case progress

  • Track and comply with all deadlines for appeals, backdating, and reopened cases

  • Communicate directly with Medicaid caseworkers to secure timely approvals

  • Communicate directly with Business Office Managers and Regional Business Office Managers to ensure smooth processing and follow-through of all pending cases

  • Prepare documentation for OIG cases and appeals

  • Ensure approvals are obtained timely to protect reimbursement

Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.

Work Environment & Candidate Profile

This role offers excellent guidance and strong team support from management and coworkers. Collaboration is valued, and you will be part of a supportive team environment.

However, the ideal candidate must:

  • Be self-motivated and able to work independently

  • Be highly detail-oriented and deadline-driven

  • Think critically and act quickly

  • Work well with others

  • Be adaptable and able to accept and tolerate procedural or policy changes

  • Maintain professionalism in a fast-paced, evolving regulatory environment

Position Details

  • Part-Time: 24-28 hours per week

  • Compensation based on verified experience

  • Independent role within a collaborative team

  • Salary $40,000-$50,000 a year pending experience
