Program Manager Healthcare Benefits

Profile

Overview
AARP Foundation works to end senior poverty by helping vulnerable people over 50 build economic opportunity. Our approach emphasizes equitable outcomes for populations that have faced systemic discrimination. As AARP's charitable affiliate, we serve AARP members and nonmembers alike. Through vigorous legal advocacy and evidence-based solutions, and by building supportive community connections, we foster resilience, advance equity and restore hope.
The Program Manager will develop, manage and scale programs that increase participation in healthcare benefit programs, as part of a broader Benefits Access team. The initial focus will be increasing awareness and enrollment in the Medicare Savings Program, for the more than 1.5 million seniors who are eligible but not enrolled and a subset of those who are also not yet participating in the Extra Help prescription assistance program. This entails gathering a deep understanding of customer needs and barriers to MSP participation, crafting effective strategies for raising MSP awareness, building strong relationships within the MSP ecosystem, managing grantee organizations, developing new solutions using a human-centered design methodology, and scaling the most promising offerings. The program manager will also assess additional health care benefit opportunities in the future and build out a portfolio of program offerings that help to insure older adults with low-to-moderate incomes have access to the quality healthcare services they need to age how they choose.
