Job Summary

The Senior Manager of Product Implementation and Administration will have two main responsibilities: 1) support annual assessment of new product strategies in collaboration with Product Strategy counterparts; and 2) lead key aspects of product implementation and administration processes, including annual bid/rate and related filings, new benefit implementation, and product/vendor management processes.

The Senior Manager will support annual assessment of new product strategies by providing guidance on or helping to research benefit rules and regulations, competitor plan designs/strategies, and other relevant information to inform product decisions. The Senior Manager will participate in product strategy/bid planning meetings led by Product Strategy team to provide subject matter expertise, as needed, on matters related to product design, regulatory requirements, and implementation feasibility. The Senior Manager may also lead some workgroups to help flesh out detailed requirements to support overall product strategy decisions. The Senior Manager will also lead and support the annual new contract/service area application process with CMS.

Once new product designs are approved by senior leadership, the Senior Manager, in collaboration with the Director, is responsible for all necessary product filings with CMS and other regulatory agencies in advance of required deadlines, as well as overseeing implementation of the product across the business. The Senior Manager will be responsible for ensuring that Plan Benefit Packages (PBPs) are reviewed and ready for bid filing in CMS’ Health Plan Management System (HPMS). The Senior Manager will also be responsible for either directly populating the PBPs or will oversee the team’s Product Specialists who populate the PBPs with approved benefit details. The Senior Manager will be responsible for ensuring timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of all bid filings including Actuarial Bid Pricing Tools (BPTs) and other documentation required for complete bid filing. Post-filing the Senior Manager will collaborate with cross functional business partners to lead and oversee key aspects of product implementation, ensuring that all functions are prepared to enroll, service, and deliver the products for the upcoming year. The Senior Manager will play a key role in the document creation/review process to ensure that all communication materials reflect accurate information and meet applicable regulatory requirements and timelines. The Senior Manager works closely with claims, membership operations, clinical services, care management, customer relations, sales, marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure that key deliverables are identified and met. Throughout the year, the Senior Manager will act as subject matter expert in helping to resolve issues related to benefit design and delivery, including participating in standing or ad hoc workgroups as necessary.

The Senior Manager will directly manage one or more Product Specialists while serving as a mentor to other members of the broader Product team who assist with product / system configuration, regulatory applications/filings, and day-to-day benefit adjudication matters.

Overall, the Senior Manager will be responsible for managing a multi-state portfolio with sets of products targeted to meet the unique membership growth and business performance needs of each market. All responsibilities extend to any new Medicare markets should Point32Health choose to expand its footprint in the future.
