Healthcare fraud detection is accomplished by mining social relationships and analyzing their patterns based on network data structures. Social networks are constructed which depict referral patterns (from health insurance claim information) and associations (from publicly available connection data) to analyze referral patterns and detect possible fraud, abuse and unnecessary overuse. The fraud and abuse management system supports the various aspects of fraud investigation and management, including prevention, investigation, detection and settlement. Using a unique combination of data mining capabilities and graphical reporting tools, the system can identify potentially fraudulent and abusive behavior before a claim is paid or, retrospectively, analyze providers' past behaviors to flag suspicious patterns.
