Content Innovation, Claims Editing - NY Medicaid (Multiple Levels)

About the Opportunity 

Machinify is redefining Payment Integrity through smarter technology, richer data, and intelligent automation. We are seeking a claims editing content expert to help build the next generation of editing content and make healthcare payments more accurate and affordable. This role will bring deep expertise in New York State Medicaid.

As Content Innovation, Claims Editing - NY Medicaid you will source, design, validate, and maintain the clinical and coding content that powers our editing products. You will find opportunities in policy and in the data, turn them into edits that hold up, and measure whether they deliver value for our health plan clients. Your focus will be New York State Medicaid, where you will be our go-to expert on state policy and how it shapes editing.

This is a build-and-scale role at the intersection of clinical editing, coding, reimbursement policy, data science, and product development. The ideal candidate brings deep clinical editing and coding expertise, a strong analytical instinct, and an open, practical interest in how AI can help us build better content, faster, while keeping quality and clinical accuracy at the center.

You do not need to be a data scientist. You do need to think in terms of evidence, measurable outcomes, and the value each edit creates for a client.

• Translate coding rules, clinical guidelines, and reimbursement policy into precise, testable editing logic.
• Document the source, rationale, and scope of every edit so it is traceable, defensible on appeal, and easy to maintain.
• Separate portable, market-wide content from client-specific policy, and flag the difference clearly in all content and sizing work.

• Track New York policy changes and keep state content current.

Validate content with data

• Review edit output and production results to confirm edits fire as intended and to find gaps, over-reach, or missed opportunities.
• Track measures such as accuracy, hit rate, false positives, appeals, overturns, provider abrasion, and realized savings.
• Bring an analytical, value-first view to prioritization: what is the opportunity, how confident are we, and what will it return for the client?

Partner with Product and Data Science

• Work with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to turn content concepts into clear requirements, logic specifications, and test cases.
• Help data scientists understand clinical and coding context so models and analyses reflect how care is delivered and billed. Bring Medicaid benefit, eligibility, and billing context to that work.
• Evaluate where AI tools, including large language models, can speed up policy research, concept discovery, content authoring, and quality review.
• Apply expert judgment to AI-generated content and help define the review standards that keep it accurate.

Support clients and internal teams

• Explain the rationale, sources, and expected impact behind editing content to client and internal audiences.
• Support client policy review, edit approval, and appeals with clear, well-sourced documentation.
• Bring client feedback and operational findings back into the content roadmap.
