Insurance fraud problem 
» 10% of all P&C claims are fraudulent – 
representing over $30 Billion of cost to the industry 
» Industry best practice finds fraud in 1 to 3% of 
claims 
» Average claim settlement times are too long, 
driving loss and adjustment expense higher 
» The Claim Adjuster workforce is aging: 70% is over 
45 years old – knowledge and experience 
is leaving the industry 
» Specialization has limited the breadth of claim 
adjuster knowledge 
» A high percentage of all claims involve 
unstructured data and manually intensive analysis

2014 are likely to outperform those carriers with more fragmented approaches 
– Pool internal data and relevant external data into one logical place, and look for known and 
uncover unknown patterns of fraud 
– Correlate the resulting high-priority alerts across monitoring systems to detect patterns of abuse 
and fraud 
– Profile accounts, members or other entities, and look for anomalous transactions against those
