Our FWA Validation prepay solution helps maximize return by preventing the payment of fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive claims. We use numerous data points to identify potential patterns of FWA early in the claim process, impeding suspect claims and flagging those providers that warrant immediate investigation. In doing so, FWA Validation increases staff productivity by proactively identifying potential bad billing behaviors—and helps special investigative units (SIUs) build cases against those committing fraud.
