Latest innovation identifies new risk vectors from emerging schemes and behaviors

Chesterfield, MO – January 28, 2020 – Healthcare Fraud Shield (HCFS) is excited to announce the innovative new feature AIShield to its flagship FWAShield platform. Supplementing its powerful rules-based system, HCFS embeds AI technology to provide compelling and reliable insights into emerging fraud, waste and abuse schemes. FWAShield includes PreShield, PostShield, RxShield, CaseShield and QueryShield which leverage a robust logic engine that evaluates over 800 rules for known FWA behaviors. Together with the introduction of AIShield, it provides a seamless digital experience that delivers richer insights and automated workflows for healthcare payers. The introduction of AIShield simplifies the complexities of identifying new and emerging behaviors that were previously unknown to investigators.

Karen Weintraub, Executive Vice President, explains “Combating healthcare fraud is an ever-evolving challenge of identifying morphing behaviors and new fraud schemes using extraordinary large datasets. AIShield provides our clients an enhanced capability that directly supports established techniques in solving their tough challenges”.
