Fraud, Waste & Abuse Analytics

Find improper payments in your claims data, defensibly.

Edgent analyzes historical claims to surface duplicates, upcoding, over-use, and above-benchmark charges, with every finding traced to a rule and to the source line. Explainable first, machine learning where it earns its keep, and a human reviewer on every conclusion.

The full fraud, waste, and abuse picture

One governed pass over the claims file produces claim-level and provider-level findings, ranked and traceable, ready for review and recovery.

Duplicate & near-duplicate claims

Exact resubmissions and the same clinical event billed across different claim IDs.

Upcoding & miscoding

High-level codes inconsistent with the diagnosis, and procedure-to-diagnosis mismatches.

Unbundling

Panel components billed separately alongside the panel that already includes them.

Provider outliers

Statistically anomalous utilization of specific procedures against provider peers.

Above-benchmark charges

Billed amounts compared to locality-adjusted Medicare rates, reported as a percent of Medicare.

Phantom volume

Implausible same-day volumes of high-value procedures by a single provider.

Impossible timelines

Service after discharge, negative spans, and overlapping episodes of care.

Novel anomalies

Unsupervised models surface suspicious patterns the rules were never told to look for.

Three layers, one defensible result

Rules carry the high-confidence findings, machine learning finds the unknowns, and the reviewer makes the system smarter with every decision.

1

Deterministic rules

Known fraud patterns detected by transparent, reproducible logic. Every flag names the claim, the rule, and the dollars, so it holds up to scrutiny.

2

Unsupervised machine learning

Anomaly detection over provider and procedure profiles ranks the borderline cases and surfaces novel schemes, with no labeled data required.

3

Reviewer feedback loop

Every confirm or reject becomes a label that calibrates thresholds now and trains supervised models over time, cutting false positives with use.

Fraud and abuse detection is not new to our team

The people behind this solution have built integrity systems where the stakes and the volumes are real.

Marketplace trust & safety at scale

Our engineers built trust, safety, and integrity systems for a global online marketplace and its health offering, processing high-volume event streams to detect abuse in a closed-loop, event-driven architecture.

Healthcare claims platforms

Provider master data management and claims-data modernization for a major commercial health payer in a HIPAA-regulated environment.

Insurance claims systems

Senior engineering on claims-organization technology for a national insurance carrier, including claims data structures and leakage signals at high volume.

Closed-gap by design

The analysis runs in an isolated environment with no external connectivity. Your data is never sent to a third party or used to train anyone's model.
