Director of Healthcare Financial Analytics

ROLE SUMMARY

The Director of Healthcare Financial Analytics leads Blueprint's financial and operational analysis support on state Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) engagements.

• Develop profiles of rural hospital cost structures and identify clinical and operational efficiency opportunities.
• Evaluate sustainable payment methodologies aligned with CMS requirements and tailored to rural providers.
• Support facility-level and county-level financial modeling for service line right-sizing.
• Contribute to back-office efficiency work streams, including RCM, billing, and clinical efficiency tooling assessments.
• Partner with clinical transformation teams to translate financial findings into care model recommendations.

• Minimum 8 years of healthcare financial analysis experience, with hospital CFO-office or healthcare consulting background.
• Direct experience with Critical Access Hospital cost‑based reimbursement, Medicare cost reports, DSH and UPL, supplemental payments, and 340B economics.
• Strong fluency in value‑based payment models, alternative payment methodologies, and CMS rural payment policy.
• Demonstrated experience analyzing rural or small hospital financials.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; comfort with claims data and APCDs.

• Prior experience at HMA, Manatt Health, Sellers Dorsey, Myers and Stauffer, Mercer, or similar.
• MHA, MBA, MPH, or CPA credential.
• Familiarity with CMMI rural demonstration models and Rural Emergency Hospital financial structure.
