WELCOME FROM DAWN BROCKMAN, HICFG CHAIRPERSON

04

I would like to welcome you to the 2014 HICFG Annual Training

Conference.

For 14 years, this association has served as a not for profit group with an

interest to increase awareness, improve and promote the detection,

investigation, and prevention of health care fraud and abuse.

This year has been exciting in terms of growth for the group. We

welcome new members who provide services within the public

healthcare sector and new private insurers to the group. This will

provide opportunities to work collectively and holistically at sharing

best practice, methodologies and technology that will help prevent

fraud, abuse and waste within the industry and across the public

healthcare sector. HICFG also welcomes International members as it

becomes more apparent that fraud has no geographical boundaries.

With record figures relating to healthcare fraud, waste and abuse

being published, there is greater focus from companies, regulators

and ultimately the general public to deal with fraud.  This year’s

training conference sees a great variety of speakers and subject

matter experts and I would recommend this should be used as

an opportunity to form networks and ultimately friends, who

can support and assist in what can sometimes be a hostile and

unforgiving environment to work in.

Thank you for your continued support and I hope that you enjoy

this year’s event

Regards,

Dawn Brockman HICFG Chair – Bupa Global

HISTORICAL REVIEW OF HICFG05

The Health Insurance Counter Fraud Group was commenced in July 2001 by a number of large insurers. There was little awareness of health care fraud in the UK until about 2000.

In 2000, the National Health Service (NHS) Counter-

Fraud and Security Management Services began

highlighting cases of fraud and obtaining prosecutions.

The goal back then remains the same today- to prevent

and detect fraud within health care.

The group met originally to discuss issues of common

interest and to exchange information and suspicions

about potential frauds under an agreed terms of

reference. Initially, Aviva (Norwich Union) and AXA

PPP health care conducted joint investigations, but

cooperation soon increased as it became apparent that

the same fraudsters were being identified scamming

multiple companies, often at the same time. As a result

of collaboration and sharing of intelligence, cases

have been presented to both criminal courts, General

Medical Council, and other professional bodies. Civil

redress and criminal convictions have been obtained

by health insurers. This can be attributed to the

coordinated efforts of the industry to stamp out fraud.

In 2011, the HICFG in co-operation with the National

Health Care Anti Fraud Association USA (NHCAA),

Canadian Health Care Anti Fraud Association (CHCAA),

european Health Fraud and Corruption Network

(eHFCN), and Healthcare Forensic Management Unit

South Africa (HFMU) commenced a global association

known as the Global Health Care Anti-Fraud Network.

This saw the partnering countries and regions signing

the GHCAN MOU. For further information on this

important alliance please visit: www.ghcan.net.

In 2012, the HICFG (in partnership with the Association

of British Insurers) is subscribed to by over 30

health related insurance companies - including the

ten largest private medical insurers. The membership

includes serious and critical illness insurers, re-insurers,

international, health-related, expat insurers, and cash

back health insurers.

The HICFG provides members a technical platform in

which to share intelligence in order to prevent and

detect fraud within health care. The HICFG also offers an

accredited training course, holds an annual conference,

and provides its members with bespoke technology

specific to the industry. The HICFG works closely with

its domestic partners, National Health Service Protect

(NHS) sharing a Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU). This is replicated with NHS Counter Fraud

Scotland and NHS Counter Fraud Northern Ireland.

The HICFG holds a relationship with the Insurance

Fraud enforcement Department and National Fraud

Authority, City of London Police, Insurance Fraud

Bureau, and the Insurance Fraud Investigators Group

to facilitate the cycle of intelligence and undertake

joint investigations into fraud. The HICFG has formal

relationships with health Anti fraud associations in the

U.S.A, europe, Canada, Persian Gulf, Australia, Middle

east, South east Asia and South Africa. Health care fraud

knows no borders.

In 2012, the HICFG successfully hosted the second

annual Global Health Care Anti-Fraud Network

summit. It included 220 delegates from 23 different

countries. In 2014 The HICFG became an independent

trade assosciation after having spent a large part

of its existence under the umbrella of the ABI. The

membership grew with the introduction of four

new members. If your company is interested in

membership or associate membership with the Health

Insurance Counter Fraud Group, please contact us at:

HICFG DIRECTORS REPORT HICFG DIRECTORS REPORT06 (cont) 06 (cont)

The HICFG offers members an array of services and software to assist the business units and staff dedicated to preventing fraud, waste and abuse within healthcare.

In 2014 the HICFG provides three tools to health

insurance companies to share intelligence about

suspect billers and claimers. First, the health fraud hub

www.healthfraudhub.com connects the insurers of

the UK, Europe and the Persian Gulf and provides staff

with up to date news, events, fraud prevention tools

and rules. In essence it is our networking platform.

Second, the Health Intelligence Fraud Investigation

Database (HIFID) provides a central internet database

where health insurers and public health investigators

can load intelligence to enable HICFG member

companies to identify fraudsters. HIFID automatically

connects subjects, allowing industry investigators

to understand behaviour and prevent recidivism. To

understand and deal with a fraudulent bill or claim is

one thing, but maintaining the intelligence cycle and

ensuring competitors do not become a victim is a way

to change behaviour. The Health Insurance industry

database, HIFID, is currently populated with over 21,000

names of high-risk billers and claimers.

Collecting and collating intelligence is a start.

Understanding the network connections, modus

operandi and being able to use those high-risk names

is the key to saving money and preventing loss in real

time. In partnership with IMT Compliance, the HICFG

provides its members with bespoke healthcare fraud

case management software to achieve this. Thus,

the third tool, the Fraud Intelligence Manager (FIM),

is designed to reside on your company’s server and

act as a fraud investigation and intelligence case

management system. It enables you to isolate and

work your own companies’ investigations securely,

privately and in a logical manner. It is easily integrated

into your claims system to operate in tandem with

current claims management. FIM produces financial

crime reports based on you investigations. Uniquely,

FIM streams into your company, every 3 minutes, all

of the high risk billers and payers uploaded into the

industries HIFID database. That intelligence is retained

by your company. FIM provides you with a complete list

of your own fraud intelligence combined with industry

intelligence. The system can be integrated against your

own billing, claiming and new business data sources

to prevent suspicious payments, claims and high risk

policy holders affecting your company. FIM is your

industries domain knowledge, it’s your intelligence, it’s

your competitor’s fraud intelligence and it’s available

via the HICFG to allow you to stop & know rouge billers

and claimers from abusing health insurance.

The steering committee format also saw some change.

The HICFG pioneered sharing of health Insurance fraud

data. We have been doing this electronically amongst

our membership for over six years. The custodians of

sharing fraud data within health insurers in the UK were

Dr Simon Peck (Axa ppp), Steve Moody (Aviva), Neil

Davidson (WPA), and Joan elliott (Bupa). Brave enough

to champion the beginnings of the HIFID system. We

now have, a pool of 21,000 high-risk names, the rational

behind the risk and how to prevent loss sits in the HIFID

database ready to be exploited via FIM. As a result of

hard work, the steering committee is now able to focus

its attention on a maintenance meeting. We are in the

process of maintaining the current initiatives we have

in place.

Training has gone from strength to strength. The HICFG

provides training courses for its members ensuring

the highest levels of skill and professionalism exist

within the industry. Accreditation is in line with NHS

Protect. IMT can provide each of you with a continual

professional development certificate (CPD) as a part of

the ongoing commitment of the health insurers in the

United Kingdom—to ensure staff training.

The HICFG maintains a network and pathway to its

domestic partners such as NHS Protect as well as the

Global Health Care Anti Fraud Network (GHCAN) which

consists of similar associations globally. All members

should be aware of these networks. Please contact us

if you have any questions or need assistance to use

this network. The GHCAN holds an annual summit in

a different country each year. The HICFG investigator of

the year is funded by the HICFG to attend that summit.

This year’s summit was held in Durban, South Africa.

The HICFG increased its membership in 2014 with

the induction of Tiaa, Medicare International and The

Global Benefits Group. Tiaa joins Baker Tilly being the

largest third-party provider of counter fraud services to

the NHS.

IN 2015 THE HICFG MEMBERSHIP WILL CONSIST OF

40 COMPANIES.

IN 2012 THE HICFG SUCCESSFULLY HOSTED THE GLOBAL HEALTH CARE ANTI FRAUD

NETWORK ANNUAL SUMMIT WHICH INCLUDED

220 DELEGATES FROM

DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
