Your Role

As Quality Submissions Specialist, you will own the end-to-end technical and operational pathway for Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) quality reporting under Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Alternative Payment Model (APM) Performance Pathway and other quality program related submission as they arise. You will orchestrate multi-EHR clinical data aggregation, patient matching/de-duplication, measure validation, and submission file generation with our vendor partner (e.g., Medicare CQM JSON or eCQM/MIPS CQM QRDA III/FHIR), coordinating closely with internal partners and approved vendors/registries. Your work ensures data completeness and timely, accurate quarterly and annual submissions—foundational to our Accountable Care Organizations’ (ACOs) quality performance and shared-savings outcomes.

Primary Functions Of The Quality Submissions Specialist Include

• Aggregate and normalize clinical data across heterogeneous EHRs; define matching rules (NPI/TIN, CCN, demographics) and execute patient matching/de-duplication for the eligible population.
• Validate measure logic and cohorts for the measure set (e.g., HbA1c poor control, depression screening + follow-up plan, controlling high blood pressure, breast cancer screening) and maintain versioned specs/values as CMS updates occur.
• Monitor data completeness and case minimums; monitor vendor dashboards to surface gaps by practice/TIN/provider and drive remediation prior to file lock.
• Build, QA, and deliver files; manage schema validations, quality checks, and error handling
• Coordinate with qualified registries and vendor for intake testing, sandbox validations, error resolution, and production submission; maintain service level agreements (SLAs) and post-submission confirmation artifacts.
• Prepare regular performance and variance reports that tie measure readiness to action plans across markets; partner with Quality Program Managers and Market Ops to accelerate remediation.
• Document standard operating procedures (SOPs) and controls (source maps, lineage, metrics catalogs, QA checklists, audit trails) to ensure repeatable, auditable submissions year-over-year.
• Drive continuous improvement by analyzing submission defects and near-misses; implement preventive controls and automation where feasible.
• Perform other related responsibilities as assigned.
