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.
As a Data Scientist II, Fraud, Waste & Abuse (FWA), you will partner closely with our Special Investigations Unit, our Cost Containment Operations team, and our Provider teams to produce data-driven leads for Fraud, Waste and Abuse investigations. You will work with operational teams to take action on these leads and will help track the performance of these investigations, informing future strategy and model refinements. There is opportunity for machine learning, but you will also be devoting substantial time to building out data models and dashboards that enable the business to leverage FWA data. You will work to reduce the 3-5% of national healthcare spend estimated to have been lost to fraud, waste, and abuse, reducing overall healthcare costs for Oscar and our members.
You will report into an Associate Director of Data Science.
