The future of payment integrity lies in the ability to harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) to improve outcomes. Yet, achieving measurable success requires more than just adopting technology—it demands the ability to set, track, and optimize benchmarks that align with your organization’s goals.
This session will dive into how healthcare payer executives can establish meaningful benchmarks to evaluate the impact of AI and GenAI on payment integrity. Learn how to define key performance indicators (KPIs) for fraud detection, cost savings, compliance improvements, and operational efficiencies. Explore strategies for tracking progress, identifying opportunities for refinement, and ensuring that your AI initiatives consistently deliver high-value results.
With a focus on real-world use cases and data-driven insights, attendees will walk away with actionable steps to enhance payment integrity outcomes through benchmark-driven approaches. Join us to discover how setting the right standards can help your organization maximize the potential of AI and GenAI, driving stronger financial and compliance performance.
Musheer Ahmed, PhD
Dr. Ahmed is the CEO and Founder of Codoxo. He founded Codoxo (formerly named FraudScope) to help make our healthcare system more affordable and effective. Codoxo’s Unified Cost Containment Platform uses AI to identify inaccurate payments earlier than traditional techniques, which helps ensure our scarce healthcare dollars go to real patient care. Dr. Ahmed developed this technology as a part of his Ph.D. dissertation at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A report by the JASON advisory group, the prestigious scientific advisory panel to the US government, reinforced that his doctoral research tackled some of the biggest challenges within the emerging health data infrastructure in the United States. Dr. Ahmed was honored to be included in the 40 Under 40 lists by Georgia Tech and the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Several media outlets have interviewed Dr. Ahmed about his work in reducing healthcare fraud, waste, abuse, and error. When he’s not eliminating payment inaccuracies, you’ll find him volunteering for various causes and spending time with his family.
