Fraud involves intentional deception or misrepresentation intended to result in an unauthorized benefit. It is shocking because the incidence of health insurance fraud keeps increasing every year. In order to detect and avoid the fraud,data mining techniques are applied. This includes some preliminary knowledge of health care system and its fraudulent behaviors, analysis of the characteristics of health care insurance data. Data miningwhich is divided into two learning techniques viz., supervised and unsupervised is employed to detect fraudulent claims.
