Senior FWA Analyst
$120k - $140k USD
HHAeXchange is the leading technology platform for home and community-based care. Founded in 2008, HHAeXchange was born out of an idea to create a fully comprehensive end-to-end homecare solution to help people who are aging or have disabilities thrive in their homes and communities. Our employees are passionate about transforming the healthcare space by building the only homecare ecosystem that fully connects patients, personal care providers, managed care organizations, and states.
Today, HHAeXchange supports Medicaid home and community-based care (HCBS) programs across all 50 states. Following the acquisition of Sandata, the platform processes electronic visit verification (EVV), visit records, and billing data for a significant portion of Medicaid home care services in the United States.
As Medicaid programs grow in scale and complexity, states and managed care plans face increasing pressure to ensure program integrity and protect public funds. HHAeXchange is expanding its Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) capabilities to help customers identify billing anomalies, improper payments, and potential fraud within their data.
The Sr. FWA Data Analyst will play a key role in building these capabilities by analyzing large healthcare datasets to identify suspicious billing patterns and translating those insights into scalable detection tools. Working closely with product, engineering, and payer stakeholders, this role will help shape how fraud detection is embedded within the HHAeXchange platform.
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential job duty satisfactorily with or without reasonable accommodation. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
