Minimizing loss and risk with smart fraud reduction strategies

Jared helps his clients stay on top of numerous types of fraudulent claims activity, including billing for medically unnecessary services, upcoding, unbundling, violations of anti-kickback and patient brokering laws, violations of state licensure laws, and the use of malware to steal policyholders' private information.

While in law school, Jared served as admissions editor of the Cornell Law Review and as a teaching assistant in the legal writing program.
