We are looking for a Claims Investigation Specialist to join our Claims Investigation Unit.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Consult with the Disability Management Services offices to identify and investigate suspicious claims and provide direction and support to ensure an efficient and effective investigation is completed
• Conduct Open-Source Investigations
• Determine whether surveillance is necessary to the investigation, and manage surveillance through our external vendor
• Conduct interviews with plan members/sponsors, tipsters, physicians, and other stakeholders
• Manage overpayment recoveries by negotiating repayment agreements with plan members when fraudulent activity is identified
• Collaborate with the Corporate Security and Investigation team and Legal Department when fraudulent claims are identified and assist in loss recovery via the criminal and civil process
• Create and maintain reference and training material for the field
• Develop and maintain reporting to enhance our ability to track the success of our fraud management program.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:

• Knowledge of various medical conditions, expected functional impacts, and standard treatment protocols

• Strong organizational (documentation + reporting) and time-management skills to handle multiple simultaneous investigations

• Bachelor's degree or college diploma in relevant discipline

• Strong decision-making, problem solving, and analytical skills

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills that include:

• Ability to negotiate with internal and external stakeholders

• Ability to engage in a positive manner

• Excellent customer service

• As this position is posted in several locations, we specify that bilingualism is an asset (fluent in French and English) but is required for Quebec only as the position will regularly serve our clients with French and English-speaking needs.

The base salary for this position is between $52,800.00 - $97,700.00 annually. This represents base salary only and does not represent other variable compensation components of our total compensation ( i.e. annual bonus, commission etc).
