Fraud Detection – Use Case
Fight claims fraud at the source — and win
Unless fraudsters are stopped in their tracks, carriers eat the cost of fraudulent claims, and premiums rise for insurance customers. (In the US, that’s a median annual increase of $400 to $700 per household, according to the FBI.) It’s also become clear that conventional fraud detection methods like if-this-then-that scoring won’t be enough to keep insurers ahead of scam artists.
Today’s fraud management challenges
Several factors complicate fraud prevention and detection: First, there’s the sheer volume of claims and their associated data. The delicate balance of maintaining up-to-date security protocols while staying compliant with data privacy laws also contributes to the difficulty of stopping fraud.
Above all, though, it’s a matter of technology: The classic rules-based fraud detection systems many insurers still use can’t keep up with new fraud tactics. Also, carriers still using modern legacy core systems can’t easily integrate with the AI and machine learning anti-fraud solutions that could help them.
Machine Learning Empowers Anti-Fraud Analysis
The only way to address these concerns is with truly modern fraud detection tools powered by AI and machine learning (ML). These solutions aren’t limited to the strict parameters of outdated fraud detection tools: ML models can detect patterns indicative of fraud in real time, regardless of an insurer’s claim volume, and as they ingest more data from multiple sources, their analytical capabilities improve.
ClaimSmart: The key to reliable AI fraud detection
ClaimSmart™ by EIS includes the powerful ClaimGuard™ decision engine to detect and stop fraud — analyzing claims based on data from hundreds of evolving scenarios.
ClaimGuard analyzes and risk-scores all claims, routing suspicious claims to fraud investigators, and sending low-risk claims to standard, straight-through processing.
Real-time automated monitoring continues for every claim when new data affects the original risk score.
ClaimSmart fraud detection strengthens the entire claims process
Increase Operational Efficiency
By accelerating the examination of routine claims and keeping fraud investigators focused on high-risk filings, ClaimGuard helps improve operational efficiency while fighting fraud — saving you money.
Improve Fraud Detection Accuracy
ClaimSmart correctly identifies high-risk cases with only a minuscule rate of false negatives: For one insurer, 87% of high-risk cases were confirmed as fraudulent, while only 0.03% of low-risk cases were incorrectly scored.
Seamless Integration With Your Ecosystem
ClaimSmart can be deployed alongside EIS OneSuite™ and its core products — or seamlessly work alongside existing claims management and policy administration systems. It also integrates with internal or external third-party data sources. This way, insurers can leverage AI and ML to find signs of fraud, even in the most far-flung places.
Q: How does EIS utilize AI for fraud detection?
A: EIS uses governed AI and analytics to flag suspicious patterns early and continuously so investigators focus on the right claims and activities.
- Machine learning models score fraud risk using signals from intake through claim handling, not only after payment activity.
- Event-driven workflows can trigger referrals, holds, or additional checks when risk thresholds are met.
- Automated triage supports faster routing to SIU teams while reducing noise for adjusters.
Q: What makes the EIS approach to fraud detection different from others?
A: The differentiator is fraud detection that is core-connected and workflow-driven, so insights translate into controlled actions instead of orphaned alerts.
- Fraud signals can be applied directly in claim and servicing workflows.
- Digital intake can capture structured data that improves model accuracy and reduces “garbage in” scoring.
- Real-time integration supports pulling signals from external sources without creating brittle point-to-point builds.
- Governance and audit trails keep model-driven actions explainable and reviewable.
Q: Can EIS adapt to new fraud detection techniques?
A: Yes—EIS is designed to evolve fraud detection through machine learning and pattern detection.
- Models and rules can be updated without rewriting the full claims or servicing stack.
- API-first architecture supports adding new data providers and detection services as techniques change.
- Event-driven orchestration makes it easier to insert new checks at FNOL, adjudication, or payment steps.
- Continuous delivery patterns support rolling improvements without long upgrade cycles.
Q: What type of data does EIS AI analyze for fraud detection?
A: Fraud detection can analyze structured and behavioral signals across the insurance lifecycle to identify anomalies and suspicious patterns.
- Claims data includes FNOL details, claim history, loss descriptions, repair and payment patterns, among other things.
- Policy and billing data includes coverage context, changes, cancellations, payment behavior, and inconsistencies across accounts.
- Customer and interaction data includes contact history, channel behavior, and repeated patterns across related entities.
- Third-party and ecosystem data can be integrated through APIs to enrich scoring and validation.
Q: How quickly can EIS implement fraud detection solutions?
A: Fraud detection can be implemented quickly because EIS supports modular rollout with reusable components and integration-ready architecture.
- Pre-built workflow patterns speed routing, referrals, and investigator queues once scoring is available.
- Configurable thresholds and rules enable fast tuning without heavy code changes.
- Open APIs reduce integration time with data sources, vendor tools, and existing SIU platforms.
- Phased deployment supports starting with high-impact use cases and expanding over time.
Q: Can EIS AI fraud detection solutions improve operational efficiency?
A: Yes—fraud detection improves efficiency by reducing manual review, cutting false positives, and accelerating correct routing and resolution.
- Automated triage prioritizes high-risk cases so investigators spend time where it counts.
- Earlier detection reduces downstream leakage by preventing improper payments and repeated handling.
- Workflow automation reduces handoffs and rework caused by incomplete intake and inconsistent follow-up.
- Integrated digital experiences reduce cycle time by collecting better data upfront and keeping teams aligned on next steps.
