Utilization Detection – Identity Theft
•Approach was to look for beneficiaries that had a sudden increase in the number of carriers
•Looked for a spike in payment for our beneficiaries out of state
•Looked for out of state beneficiaries in our jurisdiction

Spike Model
•Goal is to identify providers with a large increase (spike) in dollars paid
•Compare one recent month with a calculated baseline average (Previous 6 or 12 months)
• Identify providers with a 100% increase and a minimum of $50,000 paid in current month
![Page 24: 1/ October 2008 / SGS INTERNAL Network Detection and Analysis Karen Painter Sandra Dorman Eastern and Pennsylvania Benefit Integrity Support Centers](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649efa5503460f94c0cc4e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Outlier Model
•Goal is to identify providers that are not like their peer group (i.e. same specialty)
•Two complex variables are considered:
– Dollars per patient
– Patients per day
![Page 26: 1/ October 2008 / SGS INTERNAL Network Detection and Analysis Karen Painter Sandra Dorman Eastern and Pennsylvania Benefit Integrity Support Centers](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649efa5503460f94c0cc4e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Trend Model
•Goal is to find providers that may not have ‘spiked’ but have had a statistically significant increase over a six month period
•Trend is evaluated on two complex variables
– Dollars per patient
– Patients per day

Static Model
•Goal is to identify providers that consistently bill the same set of procedure codes
•For example: office visit, blood test, urine test, for each beneficiary
•Potential to expand to diagnosis codes or other parameters

Logistic Regression Model
•Goal is to identify providers with a similar profile of known fraudulent/abusive providers
•Create a model based on historical data and then apply this model to current data
•Providers with patterns similar to providers already found to be fraudulent are flagged for review
