Claims Operations Manager - Refund Management
DevotedJob Description
A Bit About This Role
We are on a journey to modernize and transform our entire claims system end-to-end. As the Claims Operations Manager for Refund Checks, you will lead the transformation of how we recover, reconcile, and manage provider overpayments. We are looking for a high-impact operator—someone who doesn’t just suggest ideas but owns the high-stakes operational ecosystem. You will be responsible for the health, scalability, and performance of our refund engine, ensuring every dollar recovered is handled with 100% accuracy and strict regulatory compliance. You are a builder who takes messy, manual workflows and transforms them into automated, high-performing, and audit-ready engines.
Your Responsibilities and Impact
System Transformation: Lead the end-to-end modernization of the provider refund ecosystem. Design and deploy the "future state" of our refund processing engine, leveraging automation to eliminate manual touchpoints.
Operational Deployment: Act as a hands-on operator by taking our internal toolkit—including AI, automation, and data platforms—and deploying them to hit specific recovery outcomes and performance targets.
Outcome Ownership: Define and own the "Source of Truth" for program health. You are responsible for the entire refund check lifecycle, moving beyond reporting to ensure recoupment targets are met and "leakage" is eliminated.
Performance Governance: Build and manage BI dashboards to track recovery trends. Identify deviations in performance and take immediate corrective action to keep the system on track.
Compliance Engineering: Own the integrity of the program by building processes that ensure 100% compliance with CMS regulatory timelines and internal standards. Lead the monthly audit process to ensure a state of constant audit-readiness.
Cross-Functional Execution: Act as the primary liaison between Payment Integrity, Finance, and Product to close feedback loops on overpayment root causes, preventing leakage before it starts.
Required Skills and Experience
The Operator Mindset: You are a builder who focuses on execution. You define a complex endpoint and use your toolkit to get there, using quantifiable mile markers to track progress.
Analytical Horsepower: Proven ability to use complex data sets to drive performance and influence organizational outcomes.
Technical Deployment: Proficiency with BI platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Looker, Tableau) and a track record of using LLMs or automation to solve business problems.
Conversational Agility: Ability to translate complex technical or financial concepts into actionable plans for any audience.
Extreme Organization: An elite eye for detail with the ability to pivot between tactical "in the weeds" tasks and high-level goal alignment.
Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s degree required, or equivalent experience in a high-growth or regulated environment.
Desired Skills and Experience
High-Growth Operations: Background in healthcare technology, management consulting, or tech-ops where you thrived by delivering results in ambiguous environments.
Systems Expertise: Success in becoming an SME in complex tools or regulatory frameworks to drive better business outcomes.
Relationship Management: Experience building collaborative, performance-driven relationships with cross-functional partners and offshore teams.
