Delegated Vendor Program Manager

Job Details

The Delegated Vendor Program Manager is responsible for the strategic oversight and operational performance of HHAeXchange as a primary delegated partner for Jefferson Health Plans. In this role, you serve as the central point of contact for the HHAX platform, ensuring it effectively supports the distribution of authorizations and the collection of visit data for our provider network. You are tasked with "delegation oversight," which involves monitoring the vendor's adherence to contract terms, managing Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and ensuring that the platform remains fully compliant with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) and Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) regulatory frameworks.

As the program lead, you bridge the gap between Jefferson’s internal departments—such as Finance, Compliance, and Clinical Operations—and the external vendor. You will lead regular performance reviews, oversee the technical integrity of data integrations, and manage the annual delegation audit process to mitigate operational and financial risk. By ensuring that HHAeXchange functions seamlessly as a "system of record," you enable Jefferson Health Plans to maintain high provider satisfaction, ensure accurate claims adjudication for Community HealthChoices (CHC) members, and remain 100% audit-ready for state and federal reporting
