About the role: MSAD is a reporting department working with JJ/JM Part A/B and RRB claims. There are a few different types of work that we do monthly. The beginning of the month is centered around data integrity and standard/routine processes. At the first of each month, we assist the data warehouse with their table loads by ensuring the data is complete and accurate. Once the tables are updated, we then run all our standard/routine processes against the updated data and deliver those reports. The remainder of the month will be spent creating ad hoc reports and working directly with customers to ensure the information they receive is relevant and accurate to the request. Most of the job is centered around programming to create useful and insightful reporting. Currently, we use a combination of SAS and SQL to pull, manipulate and report the data. However, we will be shifting to Python by the end of 2026. With the shift to Python, we are also looking to expand on our different data visualization tools to include dashboard and modeling.
