Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a SIU Investigator (Healthcare) to join our SIU team.
Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a focus on serving our members. We started Oscar in 2012 to create the kind of health insurance company we would want for ourselves—one that behaves like a doctor in the family.
About the role
The Senior Analyst, Special Investigations Unit Investigator detects, investigates, and produces change in aberrant behavior observed in claims and enrollment data. You will analyze data, and manages investigative caseload from identification through to resolution including overpayment recovery, measuring behavior change and completing necessary reporting to meet monetary and caseload targets through investigations and internal process improvements for Fraud Waste and Abuse (FWA) recoupments and savings.
