The method for reducing fraud in a healthcare program by registering a
service provider with a healthcare provider and issuing a service
provider identification code entails registering at least one service of
the service provider with the private healthcare provider and identifying
a claim code for each registered service; issuing a code based on data
from a biometric reading, a keypad entry with a PIN code, or an
electronic signature pad entry to an individual related to a benefits
program of the healthcare provider; using the code to determine if the
individual is eligible for the healthcare program and performing three
transmissions of information to reduce fraud in the systems.
