  1. Fraud Fighting Actuaries Mathematical Models for Insurance Fraud Detection (HANDOUT) Richard A. Derrig Ph. D. OPAL Consulting LLCVisiting Scholar, Wharton SchoolUniversity of Pennsylvania CAS Predictive Modeling October 4-5, 2004

  2. FRAUD DEFINITION Principles • Clear and willful act • Proscribed by law • Obtaining money or value • Under false pretenses Abuse/ Ethical Lapse: Fails one or more Principles

  3. HOW MUCH FRAUD?

  4. AIB FRAUD INDICATORS 1989 Examples • Accident Characteristics (19) • No report by police officer at scene • No witnesses to accident • Claimant Characteristics (11) • Retained an attorney very quickly • Had a history of previous claims • Insured Driver Characteristics (8) • Had a history of previous claims • Gave address as hotel or P.O. Box

  5. AIB FRAUD INDICATORS 1989 Examples • Injury Characteristics (12) • Injury consisted of strain/sprain only • No objective evidence of injury • Treatment Characteristics (9) • Large number of visits to a chiropractor • DC provided 3 or more modalities on most visits • Lost Wages Characteristics (6) • Claimant worked for self or family member • Employer wage differs from claimed wage loss

  6. Fraud Detection Plan • STEP 1:SAMPLE • STEP 2:FEATURES • STEP 3:FEATURE SELECTION • STEP 4:CLUSTER • STEP 5:ASSESSMENT • STEP 6:MODEL • STEP7:STATIC TESTING • STEP 8:DYNAMIC TESTING: Real time operation of acceptable model, record outcomes, repeat steps 1-7 as needed to fine tune model and parameters.

  7. POTENTIAL VALUE OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SCORING SYSTEM • Screening to Detect Fraud Early • Auditing of Closed Claims to Measure Fraud • Sorting to Select Efficiently among Special Investigative Unit Referrals • Providing Evidence to Support a Denial • Protecting against Bad-Faith

  12. Fraud Classification Using Principal Component Analysis of RIDITs PATRICK L. BROCKETT Gus S. Wortham Chaired Prof. of Risk Management University of Texas at Austin RICHARD A.

  13. The BI Settlement Process and Structure of Negotiated Payments Richard A. Derrig Automobile Insurers Bureau of MA Herbert I. Weisberg Correlation Research Inc. NBER Insurance Group Meeting Cambridge, Massachusetts February 6-7, 2004

  14. Evaluation Variables Prior Tobit Model (1993AY) • Claimed Medicals (+) • Claimed Wages (+) • Fault (+) • Attorney (+18%) • Fracture (+82%) • Serious Visible Injury at Scene (+36%) • Disability Weeks (+10% @ 3 weeks) New Model Additions (1996AY) • Non-Emergency CT/MRI (+31%) • Low Impact Collision (-14%) • Three Claimants in Vehicle (-12%) • Same BI + PIP Co. (-10%) [Passengers -22%]

  15. Negotiation Variables New Model Additions (1996AY) • Atty (1st) Demand Ratio to Specials (+8% @ 6 X Specials) • BI IME No Show (-30%) • BI IME Positive Outcome (-15%) • BI Ten Point Suspicion Score (-12% @ 5.0 Average) • [1993 Build-up Variable (-10%)] • Unknown Disability (+53%) • [93A (Bad Faith) Letter Not Significant] • [In Suit Not Significant] • [SIU Referral (-6%) but Not Significant] • [EUO Not Significant] Note: PIP IME No Show also significantly reduces BI + PIP by discouraging BI claim altogether (-3%).
