Health Anomaly & Fraud Alert Agent
Detect anomalies and fraud for faster, compliant claim investigations.
Description
Challenge:
Claims processes are vulnerable to fraudulent submissions, uncharacteristic patterns, and financial leakage. Repeated high-cost claims, diagnosis-treatment mismatches, or frequent hospital switching can go unnoticed in manual review. Delays in detection increase operational risk, payment errors, and regulatory exposure. Without automated anomaly detection, insurers face financial loss, compliance violations, and slower claim resolution.
How It Works:
The Health Anomaly & Fraud Alert Agent monitors real-time and historical claims to detect suspicious behavior, pattern deviations, and potential fraud indicators. It uses rule-based logic and machine learning models to identify diagnosis-treatment mismatches, repeated high-cost claims, unusual provider patterns, and geographic anomalies. Alerts are scored, summarized, and escalated to fraud or audit teams, ensuring timely investigation and prevention of financial leakage.
Benefits:
Reduces undetected fraud leakage by 25–40%
Speeds identification of risky claims by 80–90%
Improves detection of high-risk provider behavior by 3×
Ensures 95% accuracy in duplicate or overlapping claim detection
Achieves 90% alert resolution rate within SLA
