Claims Audit – The Indiana Jones of Payment Integrity?
- How does Claim Audit fit into the overall savings goals from PI?
- Archaeology amongst savings drivers? High $ treasures?
- Claim Audit Digs & Research – driving process improvement, not just savings.
- Do underpayments matter?
- How to keep finding treasure:
- Partnering with other departments as a true “Partner” not an “Auditor.”
- It will all be in a museum (creating reference materials).

4L Data Intelligence™ uses the patented power of Integr8 AI™ to find, fight and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse fast with the revolutionary provider-centric FWA approach. Integr8 AI technology, coupled with our continuously credentialed provider database, detects FWA you can’t see with claim data-centric approaches, solving a challenge every payment integrity platform has today.
The 4L FWA Prevention™ solution rapidly detects and prevents FWA at five points across the claims management workflow including pre pre-payment, pre-payment and post-payment positions. At each point, Integr8 AI dynamically and continuously detects provider behaviors, relationships, and outlier status without the limitations of rules-based and claim data-centric solutions. In short, it enables you to see what providers are doing individually, in relationship with all other providers, and in relationship to all other claims on each-and-every claim submitted.
4L FWA Prevention pre-payment and post-payment detection and prevention results are delivered in four distinct categories. These are:
- Provider Integrity Edits
- Adaptive Claims Edits
- Provider Behavior Analysis
- Provider Schemes Analysis.
For fraud and SIU teams, Integr8 AI detects fraud and collusion schemes you can’t see now, or can’t see fast enough, with claim-centric approaches. Our suite of tools automates continuous near real-time SIU-in-a-box detection and documentation so you can Find, Fight and Prevent Fraud Fast™.
