Executive Summary: Enhancing Fraud Detection with Generative AI at Scale
Humano Seguros, a leading Dominican health insurer, faced significant financial exposure due to increasingly sophisticated and hard-to-detect medical claims fraud. Traditional detection methods failed to keep pace, prompting the insurer to engage DFX5 to implement an advanced Generative AI-driven fraud detection platform on AWS. Leveraging Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Step Functions, and API Gateway, the solution achieved 98% accuracy in identifying fraudulent claims, cleared 97% of legitimate claims efficiently, and realized monthly savings of more than $500,000 USD within its initial deployment period, significantly enhancing profitability and operational efficiency.
About the Customer: A Leader in Health Insurance Innovation
Humano Seguros is a premier health insurance provider headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Humano Seguros serves a substantial customer base, emphasizing quality care, operational excellence, and customer trust as strategic pillars of its business.
Customer Challenge: Addressing Sophisticated Claims Fraud
Humano Seguros faced mounting financial losses driven by increasingly sophisticated medical claims fraud, which traditional detection systems—relying heavily on static rules and conventional machine-learning models—were unable to effectively counteract. Fraudsters continuously evolved their tactics, outpacing the insurer’s existing tools, which struggled particularly with analyzing complex, unstructured claim documents such as physician’s notes, scanned receipts, and diagnostic images.
Without addressing these challenges, Humano Seguros risked substantial direct financial loss, operational inefficiency due to resource-intensive manual reviews, customer dissatisfaction stemming from delayed legitimate claims processing, and long-term reputational damage potentially impacting their competitive standing. Additionally, persistent fraud vulnerabilities could attract regulatory scrutiny, further increasing compliance risk and associated costs.
Why AWS: Scalable, Secure, and AI-Ready Cloud Infrastructure
Humano Seguros selected AWS as the platform for their fraud detection initiative because of AWS’s comprehensive suite of managed AI services, unmatched scalability, robust security, and compliance capabilities. AWS services like Amazon Bedrock provided access to powerful foundation models capable of multimodal data analysis, while Amazon SageMaker offered end-to-end lifecycle management for custom neural network models. AWS Step Functions facilitated scalable orchestration of complex workflows, and API Gateway ensured secure, seamless integration into existing operational processes. AWS’s ability to rapidly scale with Humano Seguros’s growing claims volume and maintain compliance standards was critical to the insurer’s decision.
