I think I found it: File>Properties>Units/Tolerances>Solid Faceting?

Oddly if I try to set this to "Specify solid face facting quality" the setting won't stick, it always reverts to "Coarse". I CAN check the "Specify solid face faceting parameters" and change the number and the setting sticks but what does this do that's different from the aforementioned setting?

Additionally when a file with this visual discrepancy is exported it is being imported into our CAM software with these segments. Is there an export setting that is causing this or is it the file in particular?

This should not effect anything in your cam software, an arc is still an arc regardles what you see visually.   What format are you translating in?  Splines are another animal.  Make sure your CAM software can be tuned to a very fine tolerance before machining.  Mine is set to .0002 or less.  

Not sure why with today's computers we need to set the tollerence.  The default should be as fine as the programe will allow.  If It's just a visual thing anyway why not.  I hate to see a 20" circle look like crap on my screen and then can't do anything about it.
