You can make GDIT your place. You make it your own by turning obstacles into action.

• Receiving and replying to CMS urgent requests for information related to edits and other ad hoc program integrity requests.
• Reviewing CMS policy and regulations to anchor support for new FPS edits and models.
• Identifying new candidate topics for possible FPS edits and evaluate them by using data to identify risk and document CMS policy (e.g., LCD, NCD) that supports the edit.

Required Skills:

• RN or LPN with 5+ years clinical experience
• 2+ years of experience in Medicare Program Integrity work at a MAC, UPIC or other program integrity contractor
• 2+ years of experience in medical coding with the corresponding appropriate professional certification(s) (e.g., CPC) or ability to attain certification within 12 months
• Working knowledge of Medicare policy, processes and claims payment systems
• Ability to pass CMS security clearance & background check
