Who We Are

Healthcare Fraud Specialists

Steck Consulting has worked closely with federal, state and private attorneys on scores of healthcare fraud matters, contributing to investigations, settlements and prosecutions. We have helped to recover over $4 billion by integrating and analyzing plaintiff, defendant and third-party data sets to model liability and calculate damages.

Analysis Staff

Every Steck Consulting analyst has experience and expertise in providing clients with valuable insights into large and complex data sets. With backgrounds ranging from image and signal processing to bioinformatics and genomics, our staff’s diverse experiences analyzing vast, complicated, and interrelated information provide a multi-disciplinary perspective to every project.

The members of our analysis teams organize and analyze terabytes of data, create order out of chaos and find the answers to our clients' trickiest questions. Because we're often looking for needles in haystacks, our staff employs creative problem solving, intuition, patience, tenacity, and an eye for the tiniest of details. Our analysts actually look at the data, explore anomalies until they're resolved, and double- and triple-check their work.
