By ensuring AbriCare remains fully credentialed and audit-ready, the Credentialing Specialist enables service continuity, timely market launches, and smooth payer operations. This role partners closely with Operations, Clinical, People, and Growth teams, supporting both day-to-day compliance and long-term multi-state expansion.

  • Ensure credentialing related policies, addenda, and state-specific regulatory documents are up-to-date and accessible to relevant teams.

Audit & Survey Support

  • Prepare and organize documentation for state audits, waiver program reviews, payer surveys, and QAPI reporting.
  • Serve as a point of contact for credentialing-related inquiries during audits, site visits, or investigations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Operations and Clinical teams to ensure credentialing completion aligns with service readiness in each market.
  • Support Growth and Intake teams by ensuring payer credentialing is completed before client onboarding begins.
  • Work closely with People Operations to align caregiver onboarding requirements with state and payer compliance needs.

Required Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED required; associate's or bachelor's degree preferred (healthcare administration, business, or related field).
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in healthcare credentialing, provider enrollment, compliance administration, or medical operations.

  • Ability to manage complex processes, multiple deadlines, and cross-functional communication.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within a remote or distributed team environment.

Preferred:

  • Experience with credentialing in home care, PCS, HCBS, or long-term services and supports (LTSS).
