Fraud, Waste & Abuse

Fraud, waste, and abuse cost government agencies millions-even billions-every year. Healthcare programs such as Medical Cards and Social Welfare are common target as other social support programs ranging from educational support to taxation. Taxpayers end up paying the bill-decreasing their confidence in government’s ability to manage crucial services and valuable public funds.

Predictive analytics makes it feasible for analysts to:

  • Detect errors and improper payments in the administration of program benefits.
  • Uncover abuse in programs.
  • Improve the monitoring of performance.
