New position available: Healthcare Contract Manager

Many people are surprised to find that Pinnacol has established one of the largest provider networks in Colorado. Called SelectNet, Pinnacol Assurance's occupational health network provides quality care for workers injured on the job. SelectNet is comprised of primary care physicians, specialists, rehabilitation service providers, ancillary medical providers and hospitals located throughout Colorado.

Committed to the highest standards of care in occupational medicine, SelectNet relies on primary care physicians to manage the patient's overall treatment plan, while making referrals, as necessary, to specialists. Integrated services available within the network include:

Inpatient and outpatient hospital services
Referrals to board certified physician specialists
Chiropractic care
Podiatry
Licensed clinical psychologists
Mid-level practitioners
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
Orthotics and prosthetics
Home health care
Durable medical equipment
Specialized medical imaging
Pharmaceutical benefits

In 1991, Colorado State Senate Bill 218 was passed, requiring workers' compensation insurance carriers to offer managed care in specific Colorado counties. Pinnacol Assurance saw the law as an opportunity to enhance our entire provider network and care-delivery procedures throughout the state, not just in the counties specified in the bill.

With feedback from providers, policyholders, workers, and insurance agents — as well as extensive research, time, and investment — SelectNet was officially launched in June 1996 with this goal: "To provide the right amount of care at the right time, and to safely return injured workers to work as quickly as possible." We are constantly improving our network and processes to meet this goal and to better serve our customers and medical providers.

We have a new opportunity for an experienced contracting professional to join us in the role of Healthcare Contract Manager. Based out of our Lowry headquarters this position will be responsible for contracting, implementation, administration and monitoring of new large system and high volume contracts. This position is accountable for providing a full range of operational support around existing large system contracts with additional focus on re-contracting and collaborative opportunities for lowering claims costs, improving levels of service and the quality of care.

A Bachelor’s Degree in health care administration, business, or related field is strongly preferred. Relevant work experience may be substituted for the bachelor's degree. A minimum of 5 years experience in progressive network management including contracting and network administration is required along with proven experience negotiating workers’ compensation or commercial reimbursement contracts with complex hospital systems and large physician groups.
