Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a SIU Investigator, Sr. Analyst 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 SIU Investigator (Senior Analyst) primary purpose is to investigate change in aberrant behavior observed in claims and enrollment data. You will work independently to analyze data, and manage investigative caseload from identification through to resolution including overpayment recovery, measuring behavior change and completing necessary reporting to meet monetary and case load targets through investigations and internal process improvements– which should, at least initially, increase year-over-year – for FWA recoupments and savings.
You will report to the Senior Investigator, SIU.
