Manager RCM and PMO

Define the work before execution starts

• Meet with the sponsor and operational owner to clearly state the problem, affected teams, expected result, project boundaries, and target date.
• Break the project into specific tasks and deliverables with one accountable owner and due date for each item.
• Identify dependencies such as system changes, payer requirements, vendor work, data availability, staffing, policy review, training, and operational capacity.
• Document what is not included in the project so the team does not add work without an explicit decision.

Run the project and hold owners accountable

• Lead working sessions with a written agenda, clear decisions, assigned follow-ups, and documented due dates.
• Contact owners before deadlines when work is at risk rather than waiting for the next status meeting.
• Keep action, risk, issue, and decision logs current and easy for the team to understand.
• Escalate missed commitments, unclear ownership, resource conflicts, and unresolved decisions with recommended options.
• Update the project plan when approved changes affect scope, timing, cost, or resources.

Translate workflow discussions into clear operating steps

• Document the current workflow and the future workflow, including who performs each step, what information is needed, what system is used, and where the handoff occurs.
• Identify failure points, duplicate work, missing controls, unclear queues, and exceptions that need a defined response.
• Confirm that operational leaders agree to the future workflow and understand the staffing, productivity, and service-level impact.
• Coordinate with Clinical Operations, Coding, Market Access, Finance, IT, Product, Compliance, Analytics, and vendors as required by the project.

Coordinate testing, launch, and stabilization

• Create test scenarios that reflect common cases, complex cases, and known failure conditions.
• Track whether each requirement passed testing, document defects, assign owners, and confirm fixes were retested.
• Maintain a launch checklist covering procedures, job aids, training, access, configuration, staffing, communications, reports, escalation contacts, and contingency plans.
• Run go-live check-ins, track production issues, and keep support in place until the operational owner agrees the process is stable.

Measure and close the project

• Work with Analytics and the business owner to document the starting metric, target, data source, and review date.
• Compare post-launch results with the target and identify gaps in adoption, workflow, system performance, vendor delivery, or training.
• Transfer open operational items to named owners with due dates before closing the project.
• Complete a short closeout summary describing what changed, what result was achieved, what remains open, and what should be done differently next time.

• Setting RCM strategy or independently deciding which projects receive enterprise priority.
• Daily supervision of operational staff or responsibility for production targets after handoff.
• Making clinical, coding, legal, compliance, finance, or payer-policy decisions without the authorized owner.
• Accepting vendor statements as proof that work is complete; deliverables must be reviewed and tested.
• Owning the business outcome alone; the Manager coordinates delivery while the operational leader owns sustained performance.

• Bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration, business, finance, information systems, a clinical discipline, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• 5+ years of healthcare project management, implementation, consulting, or operational-improvement experience.
• Experience leading cross-functional projects through planning, testing, launch, stabilization, and closeout.
• Working knowledge of healthcare RCM, including patient access, authorization, billing, claims, reimbursement, denials, and payer requirements.
• Strong organization, facilitation, documentation, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to challenge unclear ownership or unrealistic dates professionally and directly.

• Experience in diagnostic, molecular, genetic, pathology, or specialty laboratory RCM.
• PMP, CAPM, Lean Six Sigma, Prosci, Agile, Scrum, or comparable credential.
• Experience with Jira, Microsoft project tools, Quadax, Salesforce, clearinghouses, payer portals, laboratory systems, integrations, UAT, data migration, or automation.

• Every active project has a current plan with clear owners, dates, risks, and decisions.
• Project meetings result in specific decisions and completed follow-ups.
• Requirements are tested and material defects are resolved before launch.
• Procedures, training, staffing, access, reports, and support are ready before go-live.
• Launch issues are tracked to closure and the operational owner accepts the handoff.
• Post-launch results are measured against the approved target.

• Work is primarily computer- and telephone-based and frequently requires sitting, keyboard and mouse use, speaking, listening, and reviewing electronic information.
• Protect patient, client, employee, financial, and business information and comply with company policies, HIPAA, and applicable payer, laboratory, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Perform other job-related duties as assigned. Reasonable accommodations will be provided in accordance with applicable law.
