Job Summary
Under the supervision of the Eligibility Manager, the Eligibility Specialist is responsible for supporting the accurate determination, verification, maintenance, and reinstatement of participant eligibility and enrollment in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). This role focuses on monitoring and coordinating Medicare and Medi-Cal eligibility, managing annual redetermination, coordination of benefits (COB), retroactive enrollments/reinstatements, and resolving eligibility-related accounts receivable issues. The specialist ensures compliance with state and federal regulations while contributing to the financial and operational goals of the Finance department.
The Eligibility Specialist works collaboratively with the Intake, Social Work, Claims, Pharmacy, and Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to facilitate timely enrollment, redetermination, reinstatements, and COB processes, while providing participant-centered care for frail elderly individuals in the PACE program.

Essential Job Functions
Duties include, but are not limited to:

Eligibility Monitoring and Verification:
- Monitor and track daily participant eligibility and enrollment status as reported by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
- Review and reconcile 820/834 eligibility and payment files from DHCS and Daily Transaction Reply Reports (DTRRs) from CMS.
- Track Medicare entitlement dates and work closely with the Intake team to ensure timely and accurate enrollment into the PACE program.
Medi-Cal Redetermination Assistance
- Track upcoming Medi-Cal annual redeterminations (financial, categorical, and residency) at least 120 days in advance using DHCS 834 reports, MEDS data, and internal records.
- Conduct outreach (phone, mail, in-person, text) and document consent for assistance using authorized representative forms (e.g., MC382/MC383).
- Assist participants/representatives with gathering verifications, completing forms, and submitting renewals to the county (via portal, mail, or e-fax) during the process and 90-day cure period.
- Follow up on status, assist with appeals or reapplications if needed, and notify IDT of any potential coverage gaps.
- Maintain the Medi-Cal Redetermination Assistance Checklist in Excel for tracking and reporting.
Reinstatement and Retroactive Enrollment Support
- Identify cases of accidental enrollment in another Medicare plan and Medi-Cal-only participants turning 65.
- Perform outreach, obtain consent, and gather required documentation (signed Enrollment Agreement, IDT assessments, eligibility verifications).
- Coordinate disenrollment from other plans and prepare/submit retroactive requests to the CMS Retroactive Processing Contractor (RPC) within 90 days (or escalate older cases).
- Submit DHCS Enrollment/Disenrollment Request Logs per policy letters.
- Align dates for age-related Medicare entitlement transitions and ensure seamless PACE coverage.
- Maintain the Reinstatement Tracking Log in Excel and report outcomes to leadership.
Coordination of Benefits (COB) and Other Payer Management
- Conduct initial and annual screenings for other prescription drug coverage and other payers.
- Submit timely notifications to the CMS COB Contractor via ECRS and coordinate with the contracted PBM for point-of-sale adjudication, TrOOP accumulator management, and Automated TrOOP Balance Transfer (ATBT)/FIR processes via Relay Health.
- Notify participants of other coverage information, resolve discrepancies, and support payment recovery where PACE is secondary.
- Reconcile CMS files (MBD, MARx) and support TrOOP/gross covered drug cost transfers upon disenrollment.
Enrollment, Disenrollment, and Cross-Departmental Support:
- Update and maintain enrollment/eligibility databases, tracking spreadsheets, and participant records.
- Assist all departments in confirming and verifying participant eligibility for internal use and external inquiries (providers, CMS, DHCS).
- Collaborate with Intake, Social Work, Claims, and Pharmacy teams to resolve eligibility, redetermination, reinstatement, and COB barriers. Communicate resolutions clearly and supportively to participants and families.
Compliance and Team Collaboration:
- Maintain current knowledge of PACE eligibility, enrollment, redetermination, reinstatement, retroactive processing, and COB requirements under CMS (42 CFR Part 460) and DHCS regulations
