FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE

Case study: Highmark Wholecare prevents FWA with Claim Pattern Review

From compliance requirements and coding accuracy to the added complexity of Medicaid state regulations, bad actors are always looking for ways to slip through the cracks for their own benefit. For smaller special investigations teams (SIU) dealing with a high volume of claims, extra support helps speed along the process of catching FWA, whether simple mistakes or signs of nefarious activity.
