Healthcare Informatics for Fraud, Waste and Abuse Protection

Healthcare Informatics for Fraud, Waste and Abuse Protection

Healthcare fraud, waste and abuse cost the American healthcare system more than $54 billion annually.* No health payer organization can afford to write off this much. Left unchecked, the enormous cost of healthcare fraud, waste and abuse threatens both the quality of healthcare and access to care for millions for Americans. By 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) projects that the total cost of healthcare fraud, waste and abuse in the U.S. could reach $260 billion.

Health insurance data converge on claims processing departments from many sources, in various forms and in overwhelming volumes making it difficult to integrate and manage. Data also move even more quickly because of electronic data interchange. As never before, there's a critical need to effectively discover the "fingerprints" fraud perpetrators inevitably leave behind. With STARSSolutions from ViPS®, a General Dynamics Information Technology company, you can do just that. It is a family of powerful fraud, waste and abuse (FWA), protection solutions, from pre-pay fraud prevention to post-pay fraud detection and case management. ViPS' professional consultants can also put powerful healthcare information management and technology expertise at your command.
