RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conduct analysis of data and financial information. Review data and other financial information to identify fraud schemes, harm to the Government, and the submission of health care claims.
  • Example: the analysis would commonly involve identifying all relevant health care claims for a particular fraud scheme and tallying how much was paid by the Government as a result of the scheme.
• Search for assets and funds obtained from illegal conduct. Trace the funds of a fraud and determine what assets, if any, the USAO can recover from a defendant who engaged in fraud.
• Investigate and consider legal theories to pursue for cases. In reviewing the evidence in a matter, consider and consult with AUSAs on what legal theories can best be used to address the case.
  • For example, some cases may be better pursued as a civil matter instead of criminal prosecution. Other cases require reviewing a set of regulations and billing guidance to determine what, if any, regulations/guidance were violated by the defendants.
• Assist in the presentation of data and financial information throughout an investigation, litigation, and prosecution through exhibits and other means.
• Assist and consult with attorneys on how best to present the information and create such exhibits.
