U.S. healthcare insurers and providers collectively lose billions of dollars annually to fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) with an estimated four to ten percent of all health insurance claims containing FWA. CTG's CAMS-Medical Data to Optimize Claim Dollar Savings detects FWA patterns for investigation at significantly higher rates than those of standard brute-force data mining systems by combining sophisticated business intelligence software with an advanced targeting methodology. This architecture builds a comprehensive multi-source knowledge base that integrates advanced rules-based FWA targeting, provider and payer claim codes, medical expertise, and provider data to flag FWA and recommend actions. In addition to enhancing FWA detection, case building, and revenue recovery, CAMS is highly effective in identifying billing errors and efficiency opportunities.

CAMS' unique, high value differentiators

  • Industry Experience and Technical Expertise The CAMS development and consulting team includes audit and compliance experts, hospital clinicians and administrators, and technologists, all with significant healthcare and insurance industry knowledge.
  • Flexible, Scalable System that Stores and Reuses Patterns for Investigation CAMS uses layered inference engines that can provide five to ten times the amount of information after inference, enabling patterns for investigation to be stored and reused over time while also identifying new forms of FWA.
  • Integrated Solution CAMS can be integrated into both financial systems and patient-centered outcomes software helping you compare providers/programs to determine value-based outcomes.
  • Portal Access, Flexible Reports CTG's approach uses a web-based portal that users can access from anywhere. CAMS' cutting-edge semantic technologies support user-friendly reports that are easy to reuse and repurpose.
  • Customized Approach CAMS is not a "take it or leave it" out of the box solution, but a tailor-made one adapted to fit each client's specific needs.
  • Interfaces with Existing Systems/Software There is no need to purchase new hardware or abandon existing tools to use CAMS.
  • Advanced Analytics CAMS provides advanced analytics in the form of real biomedical information (e.g. SNOMED-CT, LOINC, etc.) giving claims auditors access to real medical terminologies that are useful in examining claims and reducing the need to perform repetitive tasks.
