7 Discussion Items Data Analytics and Control Group Medicaid and Predictive Analytics Medicare Experience with Predictive Analytics 7

8 Medicaid Predic:ve Analy:cs Many State Medicaid Programs are in various stages of applying sophisticated predictive analytics technologies in their program integrity efforts. In addition, the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (the Act), section 4241(e)(3) requires CMS undertake an analysis to determine the feasibility and cost effectiveness of applying predictive analytics in the Medicaid and CHIP programs. The results of the analysis will be included in the Report to Congress due March 31,

9 Challenges and Opportuni:es Challenges: State Resources and funding Competing priorities State staff necessary to support information technology Identifying the right technology Applying predictive analytics prepayment Measuring outcomes Federal role limited to assistance in light of claims data access Opportunity: Advanced technologies have the capability to identify fraud earlier and prevent improper payments

10 Ac:vi:es CMS is providing technical assistance to States: General TA package: for States considering predictive analytics technologies Targeted TA: for States moving forward with tools Algorithm exchange: considering opportunities to share successful algorithms among States and CMS Medicaid Integrity Institute training sessions Command Center missions focused on algorithm development, investigation approaches, and outcome measurement

11 Ac:vi:es CMS may approve enhanced Federal Financial Participation for certain allowable activities and resources for Predictive Analytics related to the MMIS, including: Planning, Requirements, IT Hardware/Equipment, Software, Staffing and Contractor Support, Required Reporting (CMS and State) Advanced Planning Document template is available thru the CMS Regional Office

12 Ac:vi:es CMS will evaluate the feasibility of applying predictive analytics in Medicaid: Focus groups with State Medicaid Agencies that are applying predictive analytics Evaluate outcomes of incorporating available post payment Medicaid data into the Fraud Prevention System to support Medi Medi activities Conduct environmental scans with States

13 Discussion Items Overview of the Data Analytics and Control Group Medicaid and Predictive Analytics Medicare Experience with Predictive Analytics 13

14 Fraud Preven:on System The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 mandates that CMS implement predictive modeling and other advanced analytic technologies to prevent potential fraud, waste, and abuse. CPI implemented this requirement through the launch of the FPS on June 30, The FPS applies effective predictive models and other advanced algorithms to identify providers exhibiting a pattern of behavior that is indicative of potential fraud, waste, and abuse. 14

15 Fraud Preven:on System The FPS system currently screens all national Medicare Part A, Part B, and DME claims during the adjudication process and consolidates alerts by provider. Monitors 4.5 million claims each day using a variety of analytic models. 15

16 Fraud Preven:on System The FPS presents the alert results in a prioritized list, provides detailed information (including claims lines, beneficiaries, associated providers and claims). Results are provided to the Zone Program Integrity Contractor analysts and investigators with views by regions. Results are available to CPI and law enforcement partners in a prioritized national view. 16

18 Examples of Models in Credit Card Fraud Rule Charge for TV in FL Cardholder lives in CA (Unlikely charge) Anomaly Charges for 3 TVs in one day (99% of people buy less than 3 in a single day) Predictive Model Charges for multiple TVs out of state, after a $1.00 charge, on Wednesdays after midnight (Based on experience, these charges have a very high probability of being bad) Social Network Charge for a TV at an address known to have bad charges using a card with a phone number used by a known bad actor (relationship suggests a problem) 18
