-
Detect fraud, reduce your losses and optimize payment integrity
Spot payment integrity breaches more effectively with a robust fraud analytics engine that analyzes all data – both in real time and in batch. Powered by the SAS® Viya® platform, this solution capitalizes on advanced analytics, embedded AI and machine learning algorithms, along with business rules, text mining, database searches, exception reporting and network link analysis. Anomaly detection algorithms can identify irregular patterns in benefit claims, helping to detect fraudulent activities or overpayments. The result is faster and more accurate identification of suspicious activity.
-
Gain a consolidated view of fraud risk and work better with limited resources
Identify linkages among seemingly unrelated claims with a unique visualization interface that lets you go beyond individual and account views to analyze all related activities and relationships at a network level. Using social network diagrams and advanced data mining techniques, gain deeper insights into emerging threats, allowing you to identify and address schemes more effectively. This comprehensive view helps your agency expedite program audits and investigations by automatically linking key data sources, enabling you to quickly pinpoint networks with suspicious activity and prevent losses early.

Optimize benefits eligibility
Visualize social benefits and access a summary view of benefits by type and value. Use the interactive dropdown to check eligibility for new benefits or detect any threshold violations.
