Abstract
A system and method for detecting billing errors using predictive models is provided. The system includes a computer system and a billing error detection engine capable of detecting billing errors using predictive modeling techniques. The system receives and pre-processes billing information. The system then applies one or more predictive models to the information to identify billing errors. The results could be optionally sent to, and reviewed by, third party auditors, whereby their feedback could be incorporated into the results. A final report is generated by the system which indicates billing errors that require correction, thereby allowing an entity to correct such errors and prevent revenue leakage.
