Candidates should master EHR data extraction, predictive analytics (Python, R, SAS), and actuarial modeling. Certifications such as CPCU, ARM, or Certified Claims Professional (CCP) are highly valued, along with proficiency in claims management systems like Guidewire and AI platforms such as IBM Watson Health.
