This position exists to direct the Behavioral Health Administration's (BHA) Medicaid payment integrity program for behavioral health services. The incumbent integrates clinical review, policy interpretation, data analytics, and cross‑administration compliance activities into a single program that determines whether Medicaid claims for substance use disorder (SUD), mental health, and integrated behavioral health services are allowable, medically necessary, and properly paid. The program's core activities are prepayment review of claims from providers and services identified as high‑risk, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)–directed focused review of questionable claims.
The incumbent supervises a team of five (5) Medicaid Payment Integrity Policy Analysts who serve as the program's clinical and policy subject matter experts. The incumbent sets the program's goals, standards, and review strategy; leads the planned expansion of program integrity review across BHA's Medicaid‑funded service array; serves as BHA's operational lead for CMS focused review activity; and advises BHA leadership on policy, rule,
and legislative changes needed to close program vulnerabilities.
The position works under administrative direction from the Program Integrity & Continuity of Care Manager and is evaluated on results. Its work protects the fiscal integrity of Minnesota's Medicaid behavioral health programs and the state's standing with CMS, while preserving recipient access to medically necessary care.
Key Responsibilities Will Include
- Direct BHA's Medicaid payment integrity review program—including prepayment review and CMS‑directed focused review—across SUD, mental health, and integrated services, establishing program goals, standards, and review strategy and exercising final unit‑level authority on complex determinations.
- Exercise supervisory authority so that applicable labor agreements and plans are equitably administered and assigned employees effectively perform assigned job duties to achieve the annual objectives of the unit.
- Lead the planning, development, and implementation of the expansion of Medicaid program integrity review across BHA, and shape the policy, rule, and legislative framework that supports it.
- Serve as BHA's operational lead for CMS focused review activity and represent the payment integrity program with DHS administrations, OIG, and external partners.
- Direct unit quality assurance, review targeting, and performance measurement in coordination with the BHA data analytics team.
- Ensure program records, appeals support, and data handling meet audit, legal, and data practices requirements.
