Type: This is a challenge competition, but it has an element of volunteer work since payment depends on winning the challenge. The project would be especially worthwhile for those interested in public service and the potential recognition associated with creating a tool that will helps reduce fraud, waste, and abuse within the United States healthcare system. Check out this article for an example of how the current version of the software is used.
Paid: The overall winner will receive 28k. In addition, 3k will be given to up to four other finalists who meet the basic requirements but are not selected as the overall winner.
Location: Anywhere, but money will only be paid to citizens or permanent residents of the United States.

Time frame: The challenge will be held open until May 15, 2017, 5PM EST or until five qualifying entries are received (again the official challenge website provides a more complete explanation along with the number of qualifying entries that have been identified to date).
