Data Analytics for Health Care Fraud Investigations
The Tactical Toolbox: Leveraging Social Media, Open-Source Intelligence & Data Visualization
The tactical analysts within the Cigna SIU’s Advanced Analytics Team provide support to investigators in the healthcare, IFP (Individual & Family Plans), Medicare Advantage and pharmacy divisions. Through the use of social media investigation and other Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) sources, these analysts seek to clarify and validate connections and potential behaviors. The faculty will review the tactical approach to public records vendor reports, the most efficient way to use Google, effective mining of social media, image and video analysis, extrapolating connections within OSINT and benefits to creating supplementary visualization. The faculty will also address leveraging data sources, both internal and external, to expedite the investigation or analysis. This portion will also include the utilization of open-source software like R and Python to aggregate data and research to clearly identify patterns and connections. The overall focus is to effectively research the individuals/entities, establish connections and alleged behaviors, and then incorporate data utilization to analyze, strengthen and visualize information gleaned from all sources.
