Healthcare fraud in the United States results in billions of dollars in financial losses annually, necessitating advanced technological
solutions for fraud detection and risk management. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful tool in identifying
fraudulent claims, mitigating risks, and enhancing financial security in healthcare billing and insurance (Anderson & Kim, 2023).
This study examines the application of supervised and unsupervised ML techniques, such as decision trees, neural networks, and

electronic health records (EHRs) and claims datasets, ML algorithms can identify suspicious activities and reduce false positives,
improving fraud detection accuracy (Garcia & Lee, 2023). Additionally, predictive analytics aids in risk assessment, enabling
insurers and healthcare providers to proactively manage financial fraud risks (Brown et al., 2023). Despite its advantages, ML-
based fraud detection systems face challenges, including data privacy concerns, interpretability issues, and regulatory compliance
(Nguyen & Patel, 2023). This research highlights the effectiveness of AI-driven fraud detection models in minimizing financial
losses and enhancing operational efficiency in the U.S. healthcare sector, with future implications for explainable AI and privacy-

1. Introduction
Fraud in U.S. healthcare billing and insurance has become a pressing financial and operational challenge, costing the healthcare
system billions of dollars annually. Traditional fraud detection methods, reliant on manual audits and rule-based systems, have
proven insufficient in identifying sophisticated fraudulent schemes (Anderson & Patel, 2023). Machine learning (ML) has
emerged as a transformative tool in detecting fraud and managing financial risks, leveraging predictive analytics to identify
patterns of fraudulent claims with greater accuracy (Kim et al., 2022). By analyzing large-scale datasets, ML models can
differentiate between legitimate claims and fraudulent activities in real-time, thereby reducing financial losses and enhancing
operational efficiency (Wang & Davis, 2023).
The application of ML in fraud detection utilizes both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Supervised learning
methods, such as logistic regression, support vector machines (SVMs), and random forests, classify claims based on historical

JCSTS 7(1): 188-198

labeled data (Nguyen & Thompson, 2023). Meanwhile, unsupervised techniques, including anomaly detection and clustering
algorithms, identify abnormal billing patterns without predefined labels, enhancing adaptability against emerging fraud
strategies (Lopez & Zhang, 2023). The integration of deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and
recurrent neural networks (RNNs), has further improved detection accuracy by capturing complex relationships within multi-
dimensional healthcare datasets (Brown et al., 2023).
Despite the advancements in AI-driven fraud detection, challenges remain in the form of data privacy concerns, regulatory
compliance, and the interpretability of machine learning models. The opaque nature of deep learning models raises concerns
about explain ability, making it difficult for healthcare providers and insurers to fully trust automated decision-making systems
(Patel & Kim, 2023). Future research should focus on integrating explainable AI (XAI) frameworks and federated learning
techniques to enhance transparency and privacy in fraud detection models (Gannon, 2023). By addressing these challenges,
machine learning has the potential to revolutionize fraud detection and risk management in healthcare billing, ensuring a more
secure and efficient financial ecosystem.
2. Literature Review
The adoption of machine learning (ML) in fraud detection and risk management has significantly transformed the U.S. healthcare
industry. With the rising complexity of billing fraud schemes, traditional rule-based detection methods have proven insufficient.
Consequently, AI-driven fraud detection systems have emerged as a robust solution to counter financial risks and prevent
fraudulent claims (Anderson & Patel, 2023). These intelligent models leverage supervised and unsupervised learning techniques
to analyze vast datasets, detect patterns, and provide proactive risk assessment strategies (Kim et al., 2022).
Supervised learning techniques, such as decision trees, logistic regression, and random forests, have been widely utilized in
healthcare fraud detection. These models learn from historical claims data to classify transactions as legitimate or fraudulent (Lopez
& Zhang, 2023). Recent advancements in ensemble learning, particularly gradient boosting algorithms, have demonstrated
enhanced fraud detection capabilities, significantly reducing false negatives (Brown et al., 2023). However, a key limitation of
supervised models is their dependence on high-quality labeled data, which can introduce biases and imbalances (Patel & Kim,
2023).
Unsupervised learning techniques, such as clustering algorithms and isolation forests, have proven effective in identifying emerging
fraud patterns. Unlike supervised models, these methods do not require labeled training data, making them particularly useful for
detecting novel fraudulent activities (Gannon, 2023). Auto encoders and self-organizing maps (SOMs) have demonstrated high
precision in reducing false positives and improving recall rates in fraud detection models (Wang & Davis, 2023).
Deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), have shown superior
performance in identifying fraud patterns in complex datasets. CNNs are particularly effective in processing medical image-based
fraud cases, while RNNs excel in sequential data analysis, such as claim history and provider behavior tracking (Kim et al., 2022).
Furthermore, transformer-based architectures, such as BERT and GPT models, have improved the interpretability of fraud detection
in healthcare billing systems (Nguyen & Thompson, 2023). Nevertheless, deep learning models require significant computational
resources and are often criticized for their lack of transparency and interpretability (Patel & Kim, 2023).
Despite the numerous advantages of ML-based fraud detection, several challenges persist. Data privacy regulations, such as the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), impose strict limitations on data sharing, restricting model training
on centralized datasets (Lopez & Zhang, 2023). Moreover, ensuring regulatory compliance and addressing the opacity of deep
learning models remain pressing concerns in the healthcare sector (Brown et al., 2023). The emergence of federated learning and
explainable AI (XAI) presents promising solutions to enhance transparency and maintain compliance with legal frameworks
(Gannon, 2023).
3. Methodology
3.1 Data Collecion and Preprocessing
To build an effective fraud detection model, diverse datasets containing healthcare claims, patient records, billing transactions,
and insurance provider data are required. The data sources include:
• Medicare and Medicaid databases (e.g., CMS Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data)
• Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• Insurance claim records from private insurers

AI-Driven Machine Learning for Fraud Detection and Risk Management in U.S. Healthcare Billing and Insurance
Page | 190
• Synthetic fraud datasets (e.g., publicly available datasets from healthcare fraud competitions)
3.2 Data Preprocessing Steps
1. Data Cleaning: Removing duplicate records, handling missing values, and standardizing formats.
2. Normalization and Standardization: Converting numerical values to comparable scales.
3. De-identification: Ensuring compliance with HIPAA by anonymizing patient data.
4. Balancing the Dataset: Using oversampling (SMOTE) or under sampling techniques to address class imbalances in
fraud and non-fraud cases.
3.4 Feature Engineering
Feature engineering plays a crucial role in AI-driven fraud detection in U.S. healthcare billing and insurance by transforming raw
data into meaningful features that enhance machine learning model accuracy (Liu et al., 2023). Effective fraud detection relies on
a combination of claim-based features (e.g., total claim amount, frequency of claims), provider behavior features (e.g., number of
claims per provider, billing code anomalies), patient behavior features (e.g., multiple claims in different states), temporal features
(e.g., weekend claims, treatment duration), and anomaly indicators (e.g., rare procedure codes, outlier payment trends) (West,
Bhattacharya, & El bashir, 2021). Selecting relevant features through techniques like Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), LASSO
regularization, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) ensures that only the most predictive attributes are retained, reducing
computational complexity and improving model accuracy (Hinton, Salakhutdinov, & Wang, 2022). The table below summarizes
the critical feature categories used in fraud detection, while the accompanying graph visualizes the importance of each feature in
predictive models.
Feature Category
Example Features
Role in Fraud Detection
Claim-Based Features
Total claim amount, claim frequency
Identifies excessive billing patterns
Provider Behavior
Number of claims per provider, billing code anomalies
Flags high-volume fraudulent providers
Patient Behavior
Multiple claims in different states, overlapping treatments
Detects patient identity fraud
Temporal Features
Weekend claims, treatment duration
Highlights unusual submission times
Anomaly Indicators
Rare procedure codes, outlier payment trends
Recognizes statistical anomalies
3.5 Sentiment-Based Feature Engineering for Fraud Detection
Healthcare fraud detection can benefit from sentiment analysis, particularly when analyzing textual data from insurance claim
descriptions, provider reviews, and patient complaints. Fraudulent claims often contain linguistic patterns such as excessive
justifications, abnormal billing explanations, and deceptive descriptions. By classifying sentiment into positive, neutral, and
negative, AI models can detect fraud tendencies based on the textual context.
Sentiment Category
Example Text in Claims
Fraud Probability
Positive Sentiment
"The service was provided as per the claim details."
Low
Neutral Sentiment
"Patient received the treatment without complications."
Medium
Negative Sentiment
"The provider overcharged for unnecessary procedures."
High
Deceptive Language
"Reimbursement required for immediate medical need despite procedural errors."
Very High
3.6 Support Vector Machine (SVM) for Fraud Classification
SVM is a powerful classification algorithm used to detect fraudulent claims by separating high-dimensional data points into
distinct classes. It is particularly useful in fraud detection because it can learn complex patterns and prevent overfitting (Hinton,
Salakhutdinov, & Wang, 2022). The SVM classifier works by:
1. Mapping input data (claims, sentiments, billing patterns) into a high-dimensional space.

JCSTS 7(1): 188-198
Page | 191
2. Finding an optimal hyperplane that separates fraudulent and non-fraudulent claims.
3. Utilizing kernel functions (Linear, RBF, and Polynomial) to improve classification accuracy.
To illustrate the clustering of fraudulent and non-fraudulent claims, we use SVM with sentiment-based features and visualize
the separation of claims into clusters.
Graph 1- Sentiment features and structured billing data
The SVM decision boundary visualized above demonstrates how fraudulent (red) and non-fraudulent (blue) claims are classified
based on sentiment features and structured billing data. The support vector machine (SVM) model effectively separates
fraudulent transactions using an optimal hyperplane in a high-dimensional space. Fraudulent claims often cluster in distinct
regions due to unique textual patterns, abnormal billing behaviors, and deceptive sentiment indicators (Kou, Lu, & Huang, 2022).
The decision boundary ensures that high-risk claims are flagged for further investigation, improving fraud detection accuracy in
insurance risk management.

The graph above illustrates the feature importance scores for fraud detection in healthcare billing, demonstrating that Total
Claim Amount, Number of Claims per Provider, and Rare Procedure Code Usage are the most critical factors in detecting
fraudulent activities. These findings align with existing research, emphasizing that financial anomalies, provider behaviors, and
unusual billing patterns are strong indicators of fraud (Kou, Lu, & Huang, 2022). By integrating these engineered features into
machine learning models, healthcare organizations and insurance companies can significantly enhance fraud detection accuracy
while reducing false positives.
3.7 Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in U.S. Healthcare Fraud Detection
In the U.S. healthcare system, ANN is widely used for detecting fraudulent transactions in insurance claims, electronic health records
(EHRs), and medical billing data. ANN consists of multiple layers of neurons that process claim-related information, making it
capable of detecting fraud patterns that traditional models might miss.
How ANN Works in Healthcare Fraud Detection:
• Input Layer: Includes structured claim data (e.g., claim amount, provider ID, diagnosis codes).
• Hidden Layers: Use activation functions (e.g., ReLU, Sigmoid) to identify complex fraud patterns.
• Output Layer: Classifies claims as fraudulent or non-fraudulent.
A table summarizing the ANN-based fraud detection process in U.S. healthcare is shown below:
ANN Component

Hidden Layers
Learns complex fraud patterns using weights and biases
Activation Functions
Enables non-linear decision boundaries for fraud detection
Output Layer
Produces fraud probability (Fraudulent / Non-Fraudulent)
Backpropagation
Optimizes weights for improved fraud classification accuracy
Benefits of ANN in U.S. Healthcare Fraud Detection
• Handles large-scale claim datasets from Medicare & Medicaid.
• Identifies up coding (billing for more expensive procedures) and duplicate claims.
• Enhances real-time fraud detection for insurance companies.
ANN has been successfully implemented in fraud risk assessment systems by major U.S. insurers like UnitedHealth Group, Cigna,
and Aetna, improving fraud detection accuracy by 30-50% compared to traditional methods (Hinton, Salakhutdinov, & Wang,
2022).
3.8 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for Text-Based Fraud Detection in the U.S.
CNN, originally designed for image recognition, has been adapted for text analysis in U.S. healthcare fraud detection. CNNs analyze
unstructured data, such as claim justifications, medical provider notes, and fraud-related textual evidence from patient complaints.
How CNN Works in Healthcare Text Fraud Detection:
1. Text Preprocessing: Tokenizing claims, removing stop words, and vectorising text using Word2Vec or BERT.
2. Convolutional Layers: Extract important fraud-related phrases (e.g., "urgent reimbursement," "unverified procedure").
3. Pooling Layers: Reduces dimensionality to focus on key fraud indicators.
4. Fully Connected Layers: Classifies claims as fraudulent or legitimate.

JCSTS 7(1): 188-198

structured numerical data analysis, identifying fraudulent claims through billing anomalies, provider behavior, and
transaction patterns. Meanwhile, CNN has proven highly effective in analyzing unstructured textual data, detecting
fraudulent claims through linguistic patterns, deceptive justifications, and provider documentation (Liu, Wang, & Lim, 2023).
Key findings from the study include:
• ANN outperformed CNN in detecting fraud in structured claims, achieving 92.3% accuracy, while CNN
performed better in text-based fraud detection (87.8%).
• Approximately 17-18% of all U.S. healthcare claims were fraudulent, aligning with industry fraud estimates from
Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2023).
• Regression analysis confirmed a strong relationship between total claims processed and fraudulent claims
detected (R² = 0.998), indicating that fraud risk increases with claim volume.
Despite these advancements, challenges remain, such as class imbalance in fraud detection, evolving fraud tactics,
regulatory compliance, and AI model interpretability. To overcome these issues, AI models must be continually updated,
ensuring compliance with HIPAA, Fair Claims Practices, and healthcare fraud prevention laws (West, Bhattacharya, & El
bashir, 2021).
6. Future Work
