The Predictive Learning Analytics
Tracking Outcome (PLATOTM) is a web-based application tool that
will serve as the centerpiece of the advanced analytics initiative
with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and
Health Integrity, LLC, the National Benefit Integrity Medicare
Integrity Contractor (NBI MEDIC). Developed by Health Integrity,
LLC and licensed for one of its contracts-the NBI MEDIC-PLATOTM
utilizes a cutting-edge advanced analytics fraud detection process
in conjunction with a state-of-the-art web-based user interface
tool to present fraud and abuse lead information visually to
Medicare Part D plan sponsors. Summary data, based on National
Prescription Drug Event Data and actions from all Part D plan
sponsors, is shared with law enforcement, CMS, NBI MEDIC, and Part
D plan sponsors to review historic actions taken against providers
who are enrolled in the Medicare Part D program, which will assist
in detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse.
