An integrated intelligent finger scanner is used for reducing fraud in a healthcare program intended to exclusively benefit eligible individuals. The scanner has a finger scanner for acquiring the image of a finger, and data processing means for encoding the acquired image into biometric candidate data and for comparing the biometric candidate data with other data. The method includes: (a) receiving, from a service seeker, memory means containing stored information comprising biometric reference data of an eligible individual; (b) reading, with a POS terminal having a memory means reader, the stored biometric reference data of the eligible individual from the memory means; (c) transmitting the read biometric reference data from the POS terminal to the integrated intelligent finger scanner operably connected to the POS terminal; (d) scanning, with the integrated intelligent finger scanner, a finger of the service seeker, so as to produce finger scan data; (e) processing the produced finger scan data to create biometric candidate data; (f) comparing the read biometric reference data with the created biometric candidate data; (g) ascertaining the degree of correspondence between the read biometric reference data and the created biometric candidate data; and (h) deciding whether the service seeker is the eligible individual based upon the degree of correspondence between the read biometric reference data and the created biometric candidate data.
