Are you an analytical, detail-oriented professional who enjoys solving complex problems, improving processes, and making a meaningful impact in healthcare? We're seeking a Healthcare Program & Policy Analyst to support important Medicaid and behavioral health initiatives through financial analysis, policy development, regulatory compliance, and program coordination.

This opportunity is based in Topeka, KS, where you'll collaborate with healthcare professionals, financial teams, government agencies, and program stakeholders to support reimbursement processes, analyze financial and operational data, and help ensure programs operate efficiently and meet regulatory requirements. You'll gain exposure to specialized healthcare reimbursement programs while contributing to initiatives that support access to essential behavioral health services.

If you have experience in healthcare administration, Medicaid programs, accounting, financial analysis, or public policy and enjoy turning complex information into practical solutions, this is an excellent opportunity to expand your expertise and make a meaningful difference.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate healthcare cost reporting, Medicaid reimbursement activities, and payment rate analysis, including reviewing financial information, supporting rate calculations, and identifying opportunities for improved accuracy and efficiency.
• Research, develop, and maintain Medicaid policies, program procedures, and regulatory documentation to support compliance with federal and state requirements.
• Analyze financial and operational data, assist with accounting reconciliations and audit preparation, and develop reports and recommendations that support program decisions.
• Collaborate with internal teams, healthcare organizations, legal and audit personnel, and external stakeholders to coordinate policy reviews, maintain standard operating procedures, and support successful program implementation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, Finance, Accounting, Public Policy, Human Services, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated knowledge and relevant professional experience.
• Experience in healthcare administration, Medicaid programs, government operations, financial analysis, accounting, or policy development, with an understanding of regulatory requirements and compliance procedures.
• Strong analytical and research skills with experience reviewing financial information, reconciling accounts, preparing reports, or interpreting policies and program guidelines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, and Teams, with excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills; experience with Power BI or similar reporting tools is beneficial.

Preferred Background

Experience with Medicaid reimbursement, healthcare cost reporting, prospective payment systems, behavioral health programs, or government-funded healthcare initiatives is especially valuable. Familiarity with regulatory compliance, policy documentation, audit support, and financial reporting will help candidates succeed in this role.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a traditional administrative or financial analyst position. You'll have the opportunity to combine healthcare policy, financial analysis, and program improvement while collaborating with professionals across multiple disciplines.

You'll contribute to meaningful healthcare initiatives, gain specialized experience in Medicaid reimbursement and behavioral health programs, and develop valuable skills in regulatory compliance, financial reporting, and policy implementation.

If you're ready to put your analytical abilities, healthcare knowledge, and problem-solving skills to work in a role that makes a difference, apply today and take the next step in your healthcare administration or policy career!
