Large OH Health Plan Adds the Latest Prevention and Detection Technology in Its Battle Against Fraud - For Medical Mutual, This Emphasis on Anti-Fraud Activities is Critically Important Since Healthcare Fraud is Estimated to Cost American Consumers More Than $100 bln Annually BALTIMORE, 6/7/2004 /PRNewswire/ ViPS a provider of business intelligence… [Healthcare Fraud News] According to the press release, Medical Mutual “often recovers $1 million or more per year in improper payments as a result of its vigilance.” This is a tiny fraction (.05%) of Medical Mutual’s annual revenue of $1.9 billion. It looks to me like currently they are probably only finding 1-5% of the fraud in their system. With ViPS software, they may be able to double or triple recoveries, but they will still be missing a vast majority of the fraud.
