You are cordially invited to attend the complimentary 45-minute online seminar: Maximizing your fraud detection efforts with data mining
Thursday, May 31 at 10:30 a.m. CDT
Register today at http://www.regsvc.com/spss

No agency is immune to fraudulent activity - if financial transactions and benefits payments are conducted, your organization is at risk!

Join us on Thursday, May 31 at 10:30 a.m. CDT to examine the impact of fraud and abuse on your organization. Find out how data mining can help your agency substantially increase recoupments in the future. Using powerful analysis, data mining allows you to turn historical information into predictive models to help focus your fraud detection efforts.

Hear a real-world data mining account involving Medicaid billing patterns and see a live demonstration of how Clementine - SPSS' premier data mining workbench - can help you:

  • Isolate factors that identify a claim with a high probability of fraudulence
  • Develop rules to flag only those claims or records most likely to be fraudulent
  • Ensure your auditors and investigators are spending their time reviewing claims that have the greatest adjustment potential

After the presentation you will have the opportunity to hear more about Clementine and pose questions to seasoned data mining experts. Register today at http://www.regsvc.com/spss. After attending this online seminar you will receive a free copy of Using data mining to detect fraud, White Paper. Can't attend? Call us at 1-800-543-5815.
