  • Patent number: 6826536
    Abstract: A health care information management system uses a pre-existing database of medical specialty claims, such as anesthesia claims, to profile the billing behavior of medical specialist providers, such as anesthesiologists. The software helps the user to determine which of the claims submitted by the providers are within accepted guidelines and industry standards. The software identifies providers who have submitted improper false claims. This is accomplished by comparing submitted claims with a database of histories of prior claims, as well as records of time accumulated data supplied by sources originating from hospitals, physicians and societies. The software incorporates unique triggers, which highlight those claims that indicate possible fraudulent submission. The system develops a profile of a provider's billing behavior and compares it to his peers. The software uses trigger filters to alert the insurance carrier if the provider's billing falls outside of a predetermined norm.
