The Network Specialist serves as the centralized owner of Enable Dental's specialist network operations across all programs and markets. This role manages specialist sourcing, referral operations, provider onboarding, and ongoing relationships with external specialist providers. The Network Specialist also provides operational oversight of internal specialists onboarded by Enable Dental, in partnership with the applicable regional and clinical leaders.

Through consistent tracking, communication, and follow-through, this role maintains visibility across the specialist network, addresses coverage gaps, keeps referrals moving toward completion, supports successful provider relationships, and helps ensure the external specialist network is used responsibly.

• Network development: Track specialist coverage needs by market, program and specialty, prioritize gaps, research qualified practices, and complete outbound calls, emails, and follow-up.
• Provider screening: Confirm core participation requirements such as Medicare and Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal enrollment, accessibility, service area, required capabilities, and willingness to serve Seniors and Adults with Special Needs.
• Recruitment pipeline: Maintain accurate provider records, outreach history, current stage, owner, next action, and follow-up date in the approved system of record.
• Contracting and credentialing coordination: Collect required information, coordinate NDA and fee schedule steps, complete clean handoffs, and maintain visibility through contracting and credentialing without making approval or negotiation decisions.
• Referral operations: Maintain standardized referral processes and tracking across all programs and markets. Monitor referral volume, turnaround time, completion, aging, cost concerns, and unresolved exceptions to ensure referrals continue moving and issues are escalated appropriately. 
• Provider onboarding: Coordinate onboarding readiness, including credentialing status, referral workflow education, portal access and training, billing setup confirmation, communication expectations, and required clinical training.
• Internal specialist operations: Provide operational oversight of internal specialists, including onboarding coordination, referral activity, workflow adherence, provider concerns, and ongoing network needs in partnership with regional and clinical leadership.
• Provider relationship management: Serve as the primary operational contact for specialist practices after onboarding, complete periodic check-ins, address workflow questions, and coordinate internal follow-through on provider concerns.
• Provider payment support: Coordinate provider-facing follow-up regarding invoicing or payment concerns and track internal resolution with Accounts Payable without taking ownership of invoice validation, processing, or payment.
• Network health: Monitor provider activity, referral acceptance, response time, workflow adherence, inactivity, and relationship risks; support re-engagement, corrective action, or offboarding when needed.
• Reporting, systems, and process improvement: Maintain current network rosters, report coverage and pipeline health, identify stalled work or recurring barriers, and help evaluate and implement a centralized tracking solution that supports the full specialist lifecycle.
• Cross-functional coordination: Partner closely with Clinical Operations, the Clinical Excellence Committee, Contracting, Credentialing, Billing, Account Management/Client Engagement, Market Directors, Clinical Team Managers, Referral Specialists, and PACE program teams to maintain clear ownership and prevent gaps or duplicate work.
