Job Description:

We are GDIT. The people supporting and securing some of the most complex government, defense, and intelligence projects across the country. We ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter. Our work has meaning and impact on the world around us, but also on us, and that’s important.

GDIT is your place. You make it your own by embracing autonomy, seizing opportunity, and being trusted to deliver your best every day.

We think. We act. We deliver. There is no challenge we can’t turn into opportunity. And our work depends on a Health Policy Advisor joining our team to remotely support the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Marketplace Assister Technical Support (MATS) Logical Follow-On (LFO) program, Independent Dispute and Resolution (IDR) workstream. Work visa sponsorship will not be provided for this role.

In 2021, GDIT’s MATS team supported the CMS Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) by implementing a federal IDR process under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA). The provisions of Title I (the No Surprises Act) and Title II (Transparency) of the CAA prohibit surprise/balance billing for emergency services and non-emergency services provided by out-of-network providers at in-network facilities and provide numerous patient protections, including the right to receive good faith cost estimates for services. Through Salesforce, the MATS team implemented and maintains the federal IDR process; collects data on user fees from individuals using the IDR process and passes the data to other CCIIO stakeholders; certifies Independent Dispute Resolution Entities (IDREs); and reports quarterly data on group health plans offering group or individual health insurance coverage.

At GDIT, people are our differentiator. As a Health Policy Advisor supporting MATS LFO, you will be trusted to help ensure CMS reaches its legislative mandates by transparently, efficiently, and accurately implementing NSA legislative changes. In this role, a typical day will include:

• Researching and tracking ongoing legislative and regulatory changes that affect in-person assisters and health care consumers with a high degree of organization and attention to detail.
• Advising leadership of potential challenges in implementation of policy.
• Researching and producing ad-hoc narrative reports, summaries, white papers, option papers, and/or presentations regarding legislative rules that impact program outcomes with minimal turn-around time and with a high level of accuracy.
• Analyzing and interpreting policy documentation, ensuring that requirements and specifications are designed and developed to adhere to policies.
• Collaborating with scrum teams in reviewing requirements, specifications, and support to ensure they are in line with policy objectives.
• Functioning as a policy analyst by reviewing, drafting, and producing rigorous, empirically-based requirements, procedures, and recommendations that have been thoroughly researched for a policy making audience.
• Serving as a resource expert for external customers, utilizing expertise to research and resolve issues in a timely manner.
• Reviewing documentation and/or assisting with writing and formatting project documentation, ensuring accuracy related to policy and that deliverables meet editorial and company standards for quality, graphics, format, and style.
• Assisting with the preparation of training materials and facilitating training for staff and customers.
• Understanding Section 508 compliance standards and applying principles to written documents to be posted to the web.
• Other duties may be assigned.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree and at least 6+ years of relevant full-time work experience.
• 8+ years of health policy experience, preferably with experience developing and clearing written materials with a legal team.
• Advanced research skills and experience working with health care policy issues related to implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the Federally-facilitated Marketplace at HealthCare.gov, and preferably with Title I, the No Surprises Act (NSA) and Title II, Transparency of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA).
• Expert-level proficiency in formatting MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel, and Adobe PDF documents.
• Experience delivering presentations, facilitating health policy trainings, and/or public speaking.
• Candidate must be able to obtain Public Trust clearance.
• Candidate must have lived in the United States at least three (3) out of the last five (5) years.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Ability to interact professionally with a diverse customer group including executives, managers, subject matter experts, stakeholders, and team members.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on multiple tasks, ensuring accuracy and attention to detail while providing timely responses under time constraints.
• Advanced time management skills, with the ability to set priorities and complete work when under time constraints.
• Ability and willingness to learn new software applications and processes.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytic, and qualitative skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

WHAT GDIT CAN OFFER YOU:
