LaGrange-based The Rawlings Group plans to bring on 200 new staff members later this year. The Rawlings Group analyzes and mines data to help companies reduce health care costs and performs claims-recovery services for the health care industry

Its headquarters is located inside the 1,000-acre Oldham Reserve Business Park at 1 Eden Parkway. Wtih about 1,200 employees, The Rawlings Group is one of Oldham County's major employers.

Last month the company moved into the newest building on its Oldham County campus, expanding its footprint there to more than 250,000 square feet, according to a news release. The firm did not disclose construction costs for the facility.

Karen Miller, a senior recruiter with The Rawlings Group, said the new facility is about 75,000 square feet and has a state-of-the-art training room for employees. The company also is relocating its subrogation, audit and product support departments into the new facility, she said.

The release said the 200 new positions will pay between $45,000 and $75,000 annually. Associate's degrees or bachelor's degrees are preferred, and computer skills are a must.

The company is recruiting for most departments and looking for qualified applicants in multiple areas, including health insurance, medical billing, medical coding, pharmacy technicians, customer service professionals, mortgage lenders, insurance adjusters, paralegals and software developers.

The Rawlings Group has a job fair scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 12, at its facility. Short on-site interviews will be conducted, and applicants should bring a resume. Prospective employees can save time by applying online in advance.

The company asks those who can't attend the job fair to apply online here. According to its website, The Rawlings Group was founded in 1977 as a legal service for insurance providers. Over the years, it has expanded its programs to assist the health care industry in areas such as medical claims recovery, mass tort litigation and pharmaceutical claims recovery.
