• Establish compliance requirements for delegated entities.

• Monitor delegated entities against contractual and regulatory obligations.

• Review delegated entity audit results, compliance reports, and performance metrics.

• Ensure appropriate oversight, documentation, and escalation of deficiencies.

• Coordinate corrective action plans when delegated entities fail to meet requirements.

Medicare Advantage C-SNP Compliance Officer

9. Reporting and Executive Governance

Provide regular reporting to executive leadership and applicable governance committees regarding:

• C-SNP compliance status

• Regulatory changes

• Open compliance risks

• CMS audit readiness

• MOC compliance

• Delegated entity performance

• Corrective action status

• Material incidents

• Medicare Advantage compliance certification such as CHC, CHPC, CCEP, or equivalent.

• Experience in a Medicare Advantage health plan, particularly a startup or rapidly growing plan.

Professional Competencies

The successful candidate must demonstrate:

• Regulatory expertise: Understands Medicare Advantage and C-SNP requirements at an operational 

level.

• Ownership: Personally drives compliance issues to resolution.

• Attention to detail: Can identify gaps between regulatory requirements, policy, documentation, and 

actual practice.

• Audit readiness: Maintains continuous readiness rather than preparing only when an audit occurs.

• Cross-functional leadership: Can hold business units accountable without relying solely on formal 

authority.

• Judgment: Recognizes when an issue requires immediate executive or regulatory escalation.

• Execution: Converts findings into measurable corrective actions and verifies completion.

• Documentation discipline: Ensures every material compliance requirement has an identifiable 

owner, evidence, monitoring mechanism, and remediation process.

Key Performance Measures

Performance will be measured based on, among other factors:

• Timely identification and remediation of compliance deficiencies.

• C-SNP and Model of Care compliance.

• CMS audit readiness and audit performance.

• Timely completion and validation of corrective action plans.

• Regulatory reporting accuracy and timeliness.

• Delegated entity compliance and oversight.

• Closure of high-risk compliance issues.

• Accuracy and completeness of compliance documentation.

• Effectiveness of ongoing compliance monitoring.

• Timely escalation of material regulatory risks.

Accountability

This position is accountable for the C-SNP compliance framework, but individual business-unit leaders 

remain accountable for compliance within their respective operational functions.

The Compliance Officer must have sufficient authority and access to escalate material compliance concerns 

directly to executive leadership and the appropriate Compliance Committee or governing body.

The expectation is not simply to identify compliance problems. The expectation is to identify the 

requirement, establish the control, assign the accountable owner, monitor performance, document 

the evidence, drive remediation, and verify that the issue is actually resolved.
