Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Program integrity refers to the proper administration and functioning of government healthcare programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and State Employee Benefit Plans. It’s crucial for ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently, that services are medically necessary and appropriate, and that programs are protected from fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). Effective program integrity safeguards financial resources, maintains public trust, and ensures quality care for beneficiaries.

  • Pre-Pay Preventive Analytics: Stopping high-risk providers and fraudulent claims before payments are made, using configurable rules and advanced algorithms.
  • Post-Pay Recovery Analytics: Identifying hidden leads, accelerating Special Investigative Unit (SIU) investigations, and managing case workflows to recover improperly paid funds.
  • Clinical Audits and Data Mining: Validating medical necessity and policy compliance, and uncovering overlooked savings opportunities.
  • Alivia 360™ Platform: Powered by advanced AI and machine learning, this platform targets the “Gray Zone” where errors, waste, and subtle fraud schemes often reside, finding recoveries that traditional rule-based systems miss.

The “Gray Zone” refers to the complex area where improper payments might not be clear-cut fraud, but rather a combination of errors, waste, or abusive practices that are difficult to identify with traditional rule-based systems. The Alivia 360™ platform, powered by advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI, is specifically designed to uncover these hidden recoveries by analyzing vast datasets for subtle patterns and anomalies that indicate potential FWA in this ambiguous zone.
