When deploying payment integrity solutions, health plans look to maximize the efficiency of their claim payment operations while preventing inappropriate spending, including fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). This requires not only advanced analytics, pattern recognition, and machine learning, but the backing of clinical and coding expertise to help ensure the defensibility of edits and payment decisions.
That’s why one Medicare Advantage (MA) plan approached Cotiviti with the goal of leveraging integrated prepay integrity solutions to prevent payment of inappropriate claims through multiple avenues. After implementing Cotiviti’s Payment Policy Management and Coding Validation solutions for automated second pass claim editing and expert review of complex claims, the plan also turned on Cotiviti’s Claim Pattern Review solution to leverage the power of advanced fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) analytics, pattern recognition, and machine learning.
