The incumbent collaborates with BHA payment integrity staff, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Licensing, and Health Care Administration (HCA); prepares factual case summaries on high-risk placements for supervisor review; validates transition metrics for statutory dashboard reporting; and participates as an operational representative on the department-wide continuity of care team. 

Some responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

-Monitor, review, and track lead agency complex transition plans and recipient relocations to ensure statutory compliance and continuity of care under Minn. Stat. §§ 256B.045 and 256B.046. 
-Coordinate operational responses during provider closures, license suspensions, and payment withholds, and assist lead agencies with barrier resolution. 
-Maintain standardized transition tools, operational workflows, and desk aids, and support inter-agency alignment. 
-Provide technical assistance and operational guidance to lead agencies, providers, and partner entities. 
-Track, validate, and report continuity of care data for public dashboards and internal program monitoring. 
-Maintain audit-ready case files and ensure data privacy compliance.
