Candidates should have demonstrated experience in financial processing and healthcare claims environments, preferably within Federal Government environments, and should understand the architecture and integration requirements associated with X12, HL7, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator, iFAMS, and enterprise financial/healthcare systems.
