Remote Health Informatics Professor Jobs in New York

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Analyst, Special Investigations Unit Clinical Investigator to join our SIU.

Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a relentless 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, SIU Clinical Investigator detects and audits aberrant billing patterns within claims and clinical documentation, using forensic clinical expertise to protect the integrity of healthcare spend. You will perform comprehensive pre-payment and post-payment reviews of medical records to ensure billed services align with established clinical guidelines, CMS regulations, and contractual obligations. Beyond individual claim accuracy, you will analyze provider behavior to identify schemes such as record cloning, upcoding, and unbundling that may be invisible to automated systems. As a clinical subject matter expert, you will act to translate audit findings into relevant education. You will facilitate professional discussions with colleagues and providers to correct billing behaviors and promote long-term compliance. You will partner with clinical and non-clinical investigators to build evidentiary files for potential recovery, legal action, or referrals to appropriate outside agencies.

You will report into the Investigations Manager, SIU.

Work Location: This is a remote position, open to candidates who reside in: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. You will be fully remote; however, our approach to work may adapt over time. Future models could potentially involve a hybrid presence at the hub office associated with your metro area.

If you live within commutable distance to our New York City office (in Hudson Square) or our Tempe office (off the 101 at University Ave), you will be expected to come into the office at least three days each week. Otherwise, this is a remote / work-from-home role. Thursdays are a required in-office day for team meetings and events, while your other two office days are flexible to suit your schedule.

The base pay for this role in the states of New Jersey and New York is: $75,348 - $98,894 per year. The base pay for this role in all other locations is: $67,813 - $89,004 per year.
