• Strong knowledge of Medi-Cal/Medicaid, managed care contracting, and long-term care reimbursement.
• Proven experience overseeing multi-department and remote teams.
• Track record of establishing policies, optimizing performance metrics, and aligning reimbursement operations with financial reporting.
• Strategic thinker and effective people leader with excellent communication skills.
