The selected candidate will assist in conducting investigations related to fraud, abuse, and waste through research and analysis of complex health and business-related data.
Included in the functions of this position are activities such as:
•Utilizing open-source and proprietary resources to conduct the investigations and related administrative actions, as well as monitoring and tracking the associated case status.
•Preparing referrals to law enforcement entities.
•Identifying, analyzing, and interpreting trends or patterns in data sets, as well as other investigative and research tools.
