• Monitor developments in federal and state healthcare law and agency guidance, and translate them into practical policies, playbooks, contract templates, and training for the business.
• Partner with the Compliance team on regulatory questions, internal reviews, and remediation, and support responses to payor and government inquiries as requested.
• Provide rapid, practical, business-oriented legal and contract guidance directly to stakeholders, and support business stakeholders in negotiating pricing, deliverables, services, and other commercial terms.
• Apply innovative problem-solving skills and practical business judgment to maximize revenues, minimize risk, and foster long-term clinical and business partner relationships.
