The Accredited Health Care Fraud Investigator (AHFI®) is a unique professional designation granted by NHCAA to individuals who meet the necessary qualifications related to their professional experience, NHCAA membership, specialized training, and demonstrated knowledge in the detection, investigation and/or prosecution of health care fraud. 

After the comprehensive analysis of the AHFI® Program in 2018, NHCAA modified the AHFI® Exam, Prep Course and study materials to ensure that it accurately measures the core responsibilities and tasks of today’s health care fraud investigator. With oversight and input from the Accreditation Committee and Accreditation Subject Matter Experts, NHCAA continues to review and revise the core elements of AHFI®. to ensure that it evolves with the industry. 

The Exam is based on experience as an investigator in a SIU and not memorization of key facts. The Prep Course and study guide will help review and prepare for the Exam, they do not provide answers.
