Manager, SIU Coding Audit Post-Pay

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Manager, SIU Coding Audit Post-Pay 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.

The Manager, Special Investigations Unit Coding Auditor executes on Oscar’s anti-fraud programs by meeting operational and financial targets while following legal and regulatory obligations. By leading a team who independently audits claims, you will set and work on audit strategy while supporting and charting growth paths for direct reports’ personal development. The Coding Audit Manager fosters engagement across all partners, and creates policies, procedures and educational documentation to support an excellent Fraud Waste and Abuse (FWA) program. We ask that you have an understanding of managing direct and delegated FWA functions to align with operational needs.

You will report to the Associate Director, SIU.
