Detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) while meeting compliance and financial goals
Financial losses due to healthcare fraud are estimated to reach tens of billions of dollars each year. Mandated processing efficiencies, overlooked claims, overwhelmed or insufficient staff, disparate record systems, and incomplete reports and data sets can all create opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). In addition, fraud activities are becoming more harmful to patients due to medical identity theft, physical risk, and increasing coordination with organized criminal groups.
Designed by credentialed investigators in collaboration with clinical, claims, and regulatory specialists, Cotiviti’s end-to-end FWA Management solutions adapt to emerging fraud schemes and compliance requirements. Our integrated solution set applies data analysis, decisions, and insights from one module into the rules and algorithms of other modules, creating an even stronger anti-fraud solution.

Cotiviti’s signature FWA solution is an automated overpayment detection and protection system that helps payers identify potential fraud cases, spot billing misunderstandings and mistakes, and adhere to medical policies. Sentinel uses hundreds of patterns, rules, statistical calculations, utilization measures, financial profiles, high-impact fraud schemes, and predictive detection to evaluate, compare, rank, and score providers and members.
Informant is an advanced data analysis tool that offers ad hoc and guided toolsets to support user-controlled exploration of healthcare data, with the goal of discovering irregularities and isolating questionable billing and payment patterns. Informant supports analysts, investigators, and auditors who need to independently assemble unlimited (and often unpredictable) combinations of mined data and reports, providing the ability to switch directions and follow new data-driven indicators to expand findings.
As your “command center,” this application helps build, track, and learn from FWA caseloads. Commander uses calendars, notifications, and search to support proactive adoption and reinforcement of best practices in case prioritization, investigative work plans, interdepartmental collaboration, and industry-standard financial reporting. Quality review dashboards track goal progress, productivity levels, turnaround times, inventory levels, outcomes, and ROI.
SIU Services include a wide range of program integrity services, from augmenting your staff with investigative support to providing a complete and comprehensive outsourced special investigative unit (SIU).
Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Management is part of Cotiviti’s Payment Accuracy solution suite.
