The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the development of RFP released by (CAIS) and grant responses with the federal government and other funding entities that may award funds to MHCC. The successful candidate will serve as the project manager for MHCC’s Project Management Office contractor. These duties include ongoing management of the PMO, review of workplans, and other PMO required reporting.

Specific duties include preparing procurements (both small procurements and larger competitively-bid RFPs) to obtain the services of consulting actuaries to conduct evaluations on proposed mandated health insurance benefits. The successful candidate will track health insurance legislation and when requested by the General Assembly direct insurance mandate studies with the assistance of contractual actuaries or staff. The successful candidate will also manage special policy project analyses conducted by MHCC staff and private contractors focusing on healthcare spending, population health challenges, access/utilization, and payment adequacy questions using the APCD and other data sources such as various federal claim data systems and surveys (MEPS-Insurance Component, American Community Survey). The successful candidate should be familiar with using state APCDs or large claims databases, have an understanding of the markets for health insurance coverage, and the current trends in health care utilization, payment, and quality.
