The Position
Health Care Coordinators perform professional work related to program operations and auditing providers to ensure compliance with program policies and regulations. Assess potential client needs for case management services using assessment tools to identify social service and/or medical needs; participate in periodic reviews of facilities providing care to Medicaid eligible clients to validate and ensure adequacy of services and resident care. Review health care providers and fiscal agents to ensure clients are receiving appropriate services and payment is correct for services received, process payment authorization requests from providers to ensure the requested service, treatment, equipment or supplies are medically necessary and in compliance with Medicaid criteria prior to approving or denying requests. Review records from the fiscal agent, providers, clients and computer generated reports in order to identify abuse and potential fraud and to ensure claims were paid properly by the fiscal agent. Explain proper billing procedures to contract providers selected by the client; monitor the quality of care given by the provider to clients; and submit billings for services provided to the fiscal agent for payment.
This opening is for a Health Care Coordinator II-RN within the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy (DHCFP) District Office, in Las Vegas NV. The incumbent duties will fall primarily under the Facility Outreach and Community Integration Services (FOCIS) unit located at the Las Vegas Medicaid District Office.

Health Care Coordinators are out in the field, meeting with recipients, with a travel requirement of up to 50%. Incumbents should possess a degree of knowledge and proficiency sufficient to perform work independently with some training.
DHCFP provides a supportive and team-based atmosphere that encourages flexibility and creative collaboration. It is our goal to provide quality health care services to low-income Nevadans in the most efficient, equitable, and cost containing manner possible. To be a part of this progressive and innovative team, apply today. Nevada offers sunshine and recreational opportunities including golfing, biking, off-roading, hiking, skiing, and fishing.
