Detect, recover and prevent claim overpayments

Health care claim payments are complex, leaving ample room for inaccurate payments to slip through. Health plans can implement Optum® Data Mining, both pre- and post-pay, to help improve payment accuracy, reduce overpayments and save on medical and administrative costs without requesting provider documentation.

Our robust Data Mining solution can:

  • Facilitate compliance with provider contracts
  • Identify and resolve outlier billing errors
  • Conduct reviews on adjudication and coding errors
  • Prevent future errors and overpayments

Maximize savings with pre- and post-pay Data Mining

Health plans save an average of $1.96 PMPM (per member, per month) with our comprehensive, integrated solution.
