Enrollment Contractor

Job Title : Enrollment Contractor

Location : Nashville, TN / Hybrid

Candidate Must Be Local

Duration : 12+ month Contract

The LTSS Operations team is requesting a contractor to assist with Enrollment Specialist level work related to enrolling and disenrolling TennCare members. Due to the implementation of a new eligibility system, PERLSS, the enrollment team is in need of additional assistance to manage the workload. PERLSS implementation requirements have increased the workload of existing team members and additional support is needed to maintain daily functions of the enrollment team to ensure enrollments and disenrollment are handled timely and accurately.

The contractor role will allow the enrollment team members to manage PERLSS related work, including monitoring and reporting defects, process improvements, and required work related to additional PERLSS implementation phases.

Additionally, with the Public Health Emergency ending, redeterminations for Medicaid programs will be restarting at the end of March. This will result in an increase in work as this process has been on hold for three (3) years and the enrollment team will be monitoring and following up on lists shared with MCOs, Nursing Facilities, DIDD, and other state partners to assist members with going through the renewal process. The contractor will provide needed assistance for the full redetermination process, ensuring no members lose eligibility that are attempting to go through this process.
