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:
www.hicfg.com.
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
