The major factors attributing to the growth of the healthcare fraud detection market are rising healthcare expenditure, rise in the number of patients opting for health insurance, growing pressure to increase operations efficiency and reduce healthcare spending, and increasing fraudulent activities in healthcare. The healthcare industry is witnessing a number of cases of frauds, which can be done by patients, doctors, physicians, and other medical specialists.
