THey are most likely working for the State Health Department as UR or QA people. I work for the State as a Case Manager, but I also do QA and UR of sorts. I review medical records belonging to my patients, identify disparities and point them out to the provider. These types of jobs are found in any type of facility, including hospitals. We are not out to "freak out" anyone, I see my job as being a patient advocate, making sure they are getting proper care.
