Coverage areas

  • Provider fraud and outlier billing investigation
  • Prepay claim screening with reviewer decisions
  • Medical necessity and utilization review
  • Unbundling, duplicate, and coding-abuse detection
  • Provider document and medical record requests
  • Post-payment audit and recovery

Solutions

Six healthcare fraud detection modules that work as one system.

Each solution shares a unified case record, configurable workflows, and embedded AI assistance — so investigators never switch tools or lose context.

SIU Case Management

Centralize evidence, communications, clinical findings, and final determinations in one audit-ready investigation record. Unlike legacy SIU tools that scatter information across spreadsheets and email, AEGIS ISD keeps every case artifact in a structured, searchable timeline.

Fraud Detection & Triage

Prioritize fraud, waste, and abuse alerts with a no-code rule engine backed by a healthcare plugin: bundled rule packs for upcoding, unbundling, utilization outliers, eligibility gaps, and network-integrity adjacencies. Authors version, audit-log, and roll back rule changes; AI-assisted rule generation suggests new rules from case patterns for human approval before activation.

Medical Review

Coordinate clinical peer reviews with structured documentation checklists, medical necessity criteria, and reviewer collaboration workflows. Multi-stage review includes a dedicated QA Analyst stage with peer-verification permissions narrowed to MR_QA_FINALIZE, so determinations are independently validated before final closure. Sample selection runs on SVRS — statistically valid random sampling with RAT-STATS-aligned methodology, Cochran's-formula sample sizing, and Mean Per Unit extrapolation feeding directly into Recovery Tracking.

Provider Surveillance

Monitor provider billing patterns, utilization outliers, and network relationships with continuous surveillance. Detect upcoding, unbundling, impossible day patterns, and geographic anomalies before they become large-scale losses.

Recovery Tracking

Track identified overpayments as financial actions from identification through final resolution. SVRS extrapolations and their methodology PDFs are saved to the same case, so the documentation sits in the same record as the dollars. Maintain a clear chain of custody for every dollar recovered, with outcome reporting by program and source.

Program Integrity Analytics

Measure alert conversion rates, investigation cycle times, recovery outcomes, and investigator productivity with real-time dashboards. Give program leaders the visibility they need to justify budgets and demonstrate ROI.

Why AEGIS ISD

Why program integrity teams switch to AEGIS ISD.

Legacy healthcare fraud detection platforms force teams to work across disconnected modules, rely on vendor professional services for every workflow change, and bolt on analytics as an afterthought. AEGIS ISD was built differently.

Three reasons teams switch

  • Unified workspace — One platform replaces five disconnected tools. Detection, case management, medical review, recovery, and analytics share a single case record.
  • AI built in, not bolted on — AEGIS AI Assistant is embedded in every screen. It reads your active investigation context and provides evidence-linked answers, not generic chatbot responses.
  • Configurable without code — Queues, SLAs, risk scoring, approval paths, and evidence requirements are configurable by business users. No vendor professional services required for workflow changes.

Configurable Workflows

Configure healthcare fraud investigation workflows without custom code.

Adapt investigation workflows to your program requirements, clinical standards, and regulatory obligations without writing code or waiting for vendor development cycles.

What you can configure

  • Intake rules, fraud alert thresholds, and risk scoring logic
  • Review stages, clinical documentation prompts, and approval paths
  • Investigation templates, evidence checklists, and stage deadlines
  • Outcome types, recovery workflows, and corrective action tracking
  • Queue assignments, escalation rules, and workload balancing
  • Regulatory referral templates and audit export formats

Use Cases

Healthcare fraud detection across high-risk program areas.

AEGIS ISD supports diverse fraud, waste, and abuse investigation scenarios across Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial health plan programs.

Solutions by team: health plan payment integrity, Medicaid program integrity, and SIU case management.

Provider Fraud Investigation

Investigate outlier billing patterns, network relationships, and provider credentialing issues with structured case workflows.

Pharmacy & DME Fraud

Monitor prescription refill anomalies, durable medical equipment outliers, and controlled substance dispensing patterns.

Behavioral Health Fraud

Coordinate clinical review and documentation for high-risk behavioral health services including therapy session billing and residential treatment.

Member Eligibility Fraud

Detect and investigate member eligibility fraud including identity theft, address manipulation, and coverage period abuse.

Pre-Authorization Review

Validate prior authorization requests against clinical criteria, provider credentials, and plan coverage rules before services are rendered.

Post-Payment Audit

Conduct targeted and random post-payment audits with structured sampling, documentation review, and overpayment identification.

Prepay and Postpay Detection

Catch problems before payment and find them after.

AEGIS ISD Detect uses one governed rule library for both payment stages, so program integrity teams can move checks upstream into prepay review without maintaining a second set of rules.

For a deeper look at splitting rules between stages, read prepay vs postpay FWA detection: where each rule belongs.

Prepay screening

Pending claims are screened against the member's claim history and CMS NCCI, MUE, and MS-DRG reference data. Each rule recommends deny, suspend, review, or flag, and reviewers make the decision.

Prepay review workspace

Reviewers work assigned queues, release, suspend, or deny at claim or line level with a required reason, and export finalized decisions for handoff to claims operations.

Postpay detection runs

Paid and adjusted claims are scanned when new data loads, on demand, or as a retrospective backfill, and every alert is risk-scored from 0 to 100.

From alert to recovery

Alerts and prepay escalations become Case Management leads with the evidence attached, so investigation, medical review, and recovery continue in the same record.

Platform Comparison

How AEGIS ISD compares to Cotiviti and Optum.

Unlike Cotiviti and Optum platforms that use separate modules for detection, case management, and analytics, AEGIS ISD provides a unified workspace where all FWA investigation activities happen in one place.

AEGIS ISD advantages

  • Unified workspace — all investigation activities in a single case record, not separate modules
  • Embedded AI assistance — context-aware investigation guidance, not a bolted-on analytics layer
  • No-code workflow configuration — business users adapt workflows without vendor professional services
  • Schema-per-tenant isolation — stronger data segregation than shared-schema platforms

AI-Powered Healthcare Fraud Detection

AEGIS AI Assistant accelerates every investigation step.

Every AEGIS ISD solution module includes embedded AI assistance. Investigators and medical reviewers can ask contextual questions to summarize evidence, find similar cases, compare provider patterns, and get recommended next actions — all without leaving the investigation screen.

  • Case view: Summarize the investigation record and identify evidence gaps
  • Lead view: Prioritize alerts and explain fraud risk indicators
  • Document view: Extract key findings and clinical determinations
  • Provider view: Find similar providers and detect billing pattern anomalies
AEGIS AI Assistant Document Context

Question: Summarize this clinical attachment for the medical review determination.

Document analysis

  • Primary finding: Clinical notes lack specific medical necessity justification for requested procedure
  • Authorization reference dates do not align with documented service dates
  • Recommendation: Request updated clinical documentation from provider before final determination
