Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Identifying fraud in healthcare programs is crucial, as an estimated 3%-10% of the total healthcare expenditures are lost to fraudulent activities. This study presents a systematic literature review of machine learning techniques applied to fraud detection in health insurance claims. We aim to analyze the data and methodologies documented in the literature over the past two decades, providing insights into research challenges and opportunities.
