At the onset of the program it is standard
to download the health plan’s
data history. The history normally includes two or three years of claims
data, however the health plan may determine the exact length of time.
This data provides a baseline for all of the provider’s business
practices. The history is processed and examined by the SIU System on
a claim-by-claim basis “flagging” each transaction not in
compliance. The analysis and comparative data allows the SIU to isolate
providers with outliers compared to like providers in the same geographic
area. The transaction flags indicate billing errors and possible recoveries.
The history is also used for future claims runs to crosscheck the history
to current data.
