Description
Special Projects Manager – Medicaid | Five Towns, NY · $75k-$120k
About the Role This is a high-stakes, high-visibility position for someone who knows the Medicaid application world inside and out — and knows how to move cases forward when the clock is ticking and revenue is on the line. You'll serve as a specialist focused on the organization's most complex, difficult-to-close Medicaid cases across 14 facilities, stepping in where bandwidth runs thin and the cost of missing a deadline can reach $40,000 in a single month. No hand-holding, no training ramp — just ownership, urgency, and results.
Key Responsibilities
Case Oversight & Management
- Own and drive the most complex Medicaid-pending cases across multiple facilities to completion
- Monitor application timelines, collect required documentation, and ensure monthly deadlines are met
- Get hands-on when cases stall rather than relying on follow-up emails
Cross-Facility Coordination
- Oversee building-level teams tracking admissions and case plans across 14 facilities
- Partner with business office managers who handle routine operations, stepping in on problem cases that exceed their bandwidth
- Maintain strong working knowledge of each active case and its individual challenges
Revenue Protection
- Identify and prioritize cases with the highest revenue-at-risk exposure
- Prevent revenue losses caused by missed Medicaid deadlines that cannot be backdated
- Manage insurance authorization negotiations as part of broader case strategy
Qualifications
- Seasoned experience with Medicaid application processes — this role hits the ground running from day one
- Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple complex, moving cases simultaneously
- Big-picture business thinking with an understanding of revenue loss implications
- Creative problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and adapts quickly to case-by-case challenges
- Ability to work independently, prioritize high-impact cases, and take full ownership of outcomes
