About these Positions

We are hiring for two (2) HCBM Analysts and one (1) Provider Contract Analyst within our Rates, Forms, and Provider Network (RFPN) Division. These positions focus on reviewing complex healthcare contracts, evaluating them for compliance with state and federal requirements, and documenting findings in a clear and organized way. Each role requires strong analytical thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to communicate effectively with insurers, providers, attorneys, and other stakeholders. While the core review and analysis work is similar, each position supports a different program area and applies that expertise to a distinct set of contract types. Each role reports to the assigned FPA4 Supervisor within either the Provider Contract Unit or the HCBM Contract Unit.

Functional Program Analyst 3: HCBM Analyst

As an HCBM Analyst, you will review contract filings submitted by health carriers, Health Care Benefit Managers (HCBMs), providers, pharmacies, and Pharmacy Services Administrative Organizations (PSAOs). Your work helps ensure these agreements are accurate, compliant, and aligned with regulatory expectations. You will analyze contract language, identify issues, and provide clear written findings that support consistent oversight across the marketplace. You will also conduct research and offer subject matter guidance to carriers, HCBMs, agents, attorneys, and consumers. This includes discussing contract provisions, interpreting case law, and helping resolve questions or concerns that arise during the review process. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys detailed analytical work, communicates clearly about complex topics, and values contributing to fair and transparent practices across the healthcare system.

Functional Program Analyst 3: Provider Contract Analyst

As a Provider Contract Analyst, you will focus on reviewing provider contracts to help maintain a fair, stable, and transparent healthcare system. You will evaluate practitioner, hospital, and other facility contract terms, identify issues that could affect consumers or network adequacy, and work with insurers, providers, attorneys, and internal partners to address concerns. Your analysis will be grounded in legal and regulatory standards, and your documentation will support consistent decision making within the Provider Network Oversight Program. This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in accurate, well-reasoned work and enjoys applying analytical thinking to real-world regulatory challenges.

Rates, Forms, and Provider Network team members are required to be in-office (4) days a week for the first 30 days of employment, (3) days in-office for days 31-90, and then (2) days from then on.

This recruitment may be used to establish a qualified pool of candidates for Functional Program Analyst 3 vacancies in the next sixty days.

These are Washington General Service positions. The monthly salary range for these positions is $5,137 - $6,906.
