Business Analyst *State Government Medicaid

Description

Position Description

The Alabama Medicaid Agency (AMA) is preparing for a major transition

from a monolithic system with 14 different business functions to a modern

system and platform. This multi-year “Modernization” project will include

working with multiple vendors and may include multiple project

methodologies. The project must comply with the Federal standards and

regulations such as: Medicaid Information Technology Architecture

(MITA), CMS Seven Conditions and Standards, Outcomes- Based

Certification (OBC), 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), Health Information

Technology for Economic and Clinical Health act (HITECH act).

There are two vendors already in the program and there are three more

contracts being actively worked on. The first Vendor to join the project

was the Program Management Office (PMO) vendor who is responsible for

managing the project, defining the AMA enterprise architecture, defining

requirements, and leading the organizational change management effort.

The AMA is moving away from custom software development to procuring

software that is configured to meet the business needs. This will require

the Business Analyst to be very comfortable understanding the contract,

the business, and the requirements. To support this effort, the AMA is

seeking an experienced Business Analyst to be a member of the Medicaid

Enterprise Systems (MES) team. The Business Analyst will be working

collaboratively with a team of dynamic individuals working in a fast-paced

environment. The Business Analyst will be responsible for reviewing and

approving artifacts related to the program, project, or software. The

Business Analyst must also understand the contract and be able to verify

the contract requirements are met. The Business Analyst will be working

directly with the business areas to support them and ensure their

understanding of the vendor proposed solutions. This position will work

closely with the business areas, vendors, and Project Management Office

(PMO) vendor.
