The work you'll do is more than just a job.

At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

The Office is currently seeking a Nurse Investigator with the skills and drive to uncover, investigate, and stop fraudulent claims made to taxpayer-funded public health insurance programs. The Nurse Investigator will conduct investigations into the abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of vulnerable adults throughout Minnesota. This Investigator makes a difference in the lives of vulnerable people and contributes to the economic well-being of Minnesotans and our state.

Nurse Investigators conduct criminal investigations into health care providers suspected of defrauding the Minnesota Medicaid program and abusing, neglecting, or exploiting vulnerable adults. The Nurse investigator uses their nursing skills and familiarity with client care to review medical and other records obtained during investigations, summarize patient medical conditions, care provided or not provided to patients, and identity other patient-care concerns in patient abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation cases and, when necessary, provider fraud cases. Nurse investigators also complete medical records summary based on records review and analysis, and when necessary, provide opinions on quality of care provided. Nurse investigators will also, when necessary, write search warrants or other legal documents based on findings in analysis. Nurse investigators must testify in court proceedings, including jury trials, about their findings.

This position is eligible for a hybrid work environment (combination of in-office work and telework).
