This study introduces a blockchain-based system using smart contracts for efficient health care insurance fraud detection. Hyperledger Fabric emerged as the optimal platform, outperforming others in performance metrics for detecting insurance fraud.
Area of Science:
- Blockchain Technology
- Health Informatics
- Cybersecurity
Background:
- Rising health care insurance fraud necessitates automated detection methods.
- Current manual auditing is insufficient for increasing patient volumes.
- Blockchain offers immutability, transparency, and smart contracts for secure health care solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop smart contracts for efficient health care insurance fraud detection.
- To create a decision map recommender system for selecting optimal blockchain platforms.
- To establish a taxonomy of blockchain platforms for health care applications.
Main Methods:
- Developed smart contracts for 12 identified fraud scenarios.
- Created a taxonomy of 102 blockchain platforms based on application domains.
- Utilized a decision map recommender system to select top blockchain platforms.
Main Results:
- Hyperledger Fabric identified as the best blockchain platform for health care insurance fraud detection.
- The recommender system successfully selected Hyperledger Fabric and Neo.
- A taxonomy classified 102 platforms by suitability for various application domains.
Conclusions:
- The decision map recommender system effectively identified Hyperledger Fabric and Neo for fraud detection.
- Hyperledger Fabric demonstrated superior performance over Neo in fraud detection metrics.
- Implemented a novel smart contract-based system for health care insurance fraud detection.
