Join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of others! We are looking for a Manager of Operations for our Michigan Operations Team.
This is a full time hybrid role with weekly travel to our FreedomCare office located in Wayne County, Michigan.
Department & Position Overview:
The Operations Manager is responsible for overseeing Michigan operations across assigned service lines, including Home Help agency provider operations and HIDE SNP / MI Coordinated Health-related operational workflows, as applicable. This role ensures that referrals, eligibility workflows, service agreement completion, authorization and Time and Task alignment, caregiver onboarding, CHAMPS association, service delivery, documentation, billing readiness, quality assurance, and compliance operations are executed accurately and consistently.
This position owns day-to-day operations for the Michigan market and is accountable for ensuring that authorized services are delivered according to MDHHS Home Help requirements, the client's approved Time and Task / service authorization, applicable Medicaid and payer requirements, and company policy. The Manager partners closely with clinical leadership, compliance, enrollment, care management contacts, Adult Services Workers, MDHHS and CHAMPS operational contacts, HIDE SNP / plan partners, payroll, billing, HR, training, and technology teams to ensure operational performance and regulatory readiness.
The position is accountable for ensuring that referrals become compliant service records, required participant-provider agreements are completed and maintained, caregiver and agency records are ready before services begin, documentation supports billing, and client/caregiver issues are resolved through clear operational workflows.
The Operations Manager will manage operations toward growth, service quality, caregiver and client experience, compliance performance, audit readiness, timely issue resolution, and profitability. The role monitors operational data, identifies risk trends, and implements process improvements to support safe, compliant, and scalable Michigan service delivery.
Every Day You Will:

• Serve as the operational leader for Michigan services, ensuring efficient, compliant, client-centered operations aligned with Michigan Medicaid, MDHHS Home Help, HIDE SNP / MI Coordinated Health, payer, and company requirements.
• Lead implementation and optimization of Michigan operational infrastructure, workflows, staffing models, technology use, SOPs, desk guides, training materials, and performance controls to support compliant growth and service delivery.
• Manage day-to-day operations for Michigan service lines, including Home Help agency provider operations and HIDE SNP / plan-related operational workflows, from referral intake through service delivery, monitoring, documentation, issue resolution, and audit readiness.
• Support compliant market growth by building operational relationships with referral sources, Adult Services Workers, MDHHS stakeholders, CHAMPS-related contacts, Medicaid and Medicare-Medicaid plan partners, community organizations, and internal growth teams, ensuring referrals align with the appropriate Michigan service line.
• Hire, train, manage, and develop Michigan operations staff, while coordinating cross-functionally with clinical, compliance, technology, product, enrollment, billing, payroll, HR, and internal support teams.

• Oversee Michigan operational compliance, including caregiver qualification files, training records, CHAMPS association evidence, authorizations, client-provider agreement records, Time and Task alignment, required ASW contacts or monitoring touchpoints, incident and complaint workflows, documentation quality, and corrective actions.
• Ensure Home Help services are delivered according to the authorized Time and Task and program requirements, including approved tasks, frequency, schedule, service limits, documentation requirements, service verification requirements, and escalation of discrepancies.
• Ensure agency provider operations accurately reflect Michigan's Home Help employer structure, including that the Home Help client employs the agency provider, not the individual caregiver, and that the agency does not misstate its relationship with MDHHS or the State of Michigan.
• Monitor service delivery against authorization and billing requirements, including visit documentation, EVV / timekeeping, MSA-1904 or other service verification support, timesheet accuracy, missed or late visits, and prevention of over- or under-utilization.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective action planning for operational deficiencies, including documentation gaps, late service starts, caregiver noncompliance, CHAMPS / association issues, missed visits, service-plan mismatches, complaints, incidents, and audit findings.
• Partner with technology and product teams to improve referral management, Time and Task tracking, CHAMPS / onboarding tracking, documentation review, EVV / timekeeping, compliance reporting, and operational dashboards.
• Create and enforce processes and policies that simplify work, incorporate feedback, improve quality of care, and support a positive culture aligned with FreedomCare core values.
• Maintain working knowledge of applicable MDHHS Adult Services Manual requirements, Michigan Medicaid Provider Manual requirements, CHAMPS processes, HIDE SNP / MI Coordinated Health requirements, payer requirements, and internal compliance policies affecting Michigan operations.
