ABSTRACT:
The method for reducing fraud in a healthcare program by registering a service provider with a healthcare provider and issuing a service provider identification code entails registering at least one service of the service provider with the private healthcare provider and identifying a claim code for each registered service; issuing a code based on data from a biometric reading, a keypad entry with a PIN code, or an electronic signature pad entry to an individual related to a benefits program of the healthcare provider; using the code to determine if the individual is eligible for the healthcare program and performing three transmissions of information to reduce fraud in the systems.
