About the Opportunity

Do you have experience helping beneficiaries navigate Medicare enrollment or advising employees on Medicare-related benefits? This remote contract opportunity allows you to apply your expertise in Social Security, employer-sponsored coverage, and Medicare plan selection to improve the accuracy and usefulness of AI-generated guidance.

As a Medicare Enrollment Specialist, you will review beneficiary questions, develop evaluation criteria, and assess AI-generated answers against established Medicare enrollment and coverage rules. Your work will help ensure that responses address real-world beneficiary concerns accurately, clearly, and comprehensively.

This role is particularly suited to former Social Security Administration (SSA) Medicare enrollment professionals and employer benefits or HR specialists experienced in Medicare counseling.

Prior AI experience is not required. Your Medicare knowledge, practical counseling experience, and ability to communicate complex benefits information clearly are the primary qualifications.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop evaluation rubrics: Define the requirements for accurate, complete answers on initial enrollment, Special Enrollment Periods, Part B late-enrollment penalties, and coordination with Social Security benefits.

• Assess Medicare coverage options: Develop criteria covering Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

• Evaluate employer and retiree coverage: Address how employer size affects primary and secondary coverage, as well as the implications of COBRA, retiree coverage, and creditable coverage.

• Review AI-generated answers: Assess responses against established rubrics and identify inaccuracies, missing information, misleading statements, and common misconceptions.

• Provide structured feedback: Document findings clearly and explain how responses can be improved for accuracy, completeness, and practical usefulness.

• Support consistent evaluation: Help establish reliable standards for assessing Medicare-related AI responses across different beneficiary situations.

• Familiarity with COBRA and retiree coverage considerations.

• U.S.-based and able to begin promptly.

• Availability to commit 20–30 hours per week for the short-term project.

• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex enrollment rules precisely and clearly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with income-related monthly adjustment amounts (IRMAA) and Medicare premium adjustments.

• Knowledge of Medicare rules for individuals who continue working, including Health Savings Account (HSA) considerations.
