AI-Powered Claims Intelligence for Public Health Care
Parity Plus detects questionable claims earlier.
Parity Plus helps public health care systems detect questionable claims earlier through AI-powered claims intelligence, strengthening oversight, improving review, and protecting the resources patients and families depend on.
Canada’s health care systems are managing rising costs, complex claims activity, and increasing pressure to ensure public dollars are used responsibly.
Parity Plus helps bring clarity to that complexity.
Our platform analyzes claims data to identify suspicious billing patterns, excessive utilization, provider outliers, duplicate claims, and other signals that may point to fraud, waste, abuse, or unnecessary cost.
We help public systems identify risk earlier, strengthen claims review, and protect access to legitimate care.
Questionable Claims Are Hard to See Until the Costs Add Up
Health claims can be complex. They move across providers, programs, regions, service categories, billing codes, and treatments. In a public health care environment, even a small number of inflated, abusive, or fraudulent claims can create meaningful pressure over time.
The challenge is not just fraud after the fact. It is visibility before the damage grows.
Without stronger claims intelligence, public systems may struggle to identify:
Unusual billing frequency
Provider-level outliers
Duplicate or overlapping claims
Excessive utilization
Inflated charges
Billing patterns inconsistent with peer norms
Claims that warrant further review
Predatory or abusive billing behavior
Inventory and order discrepancies
Parity Plus helps bring these patterns forward earlier, giving oversight teams the information they need to act with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence all by using AI to speed up and create a more proactive platform identifying issues at the beginning and reducing overall healthcare spend.
Protecting the resources Canadian patients and families depend on
Health care spending in Canada continues to rise and claims activity across the broader health benefits system is expanding. As claims volume and complexity grow, traditional review processes can become harder to scale. Parity Plus helps public systems use AI-powered intelligence to identify risk earlier and focus review where it can have the greatest impact.

Earlier Detection. Stronger Oversight. Smarter Review.
Parity Plus is an AI-powered claims intelligence platform designed to help public health care systems better understand claims activity and identify areas of risk.
We analyze claims data to surface patterns, anomalies, and risk signals that may otherwise be difficult to detect through manual review alone.
The platform helps oversight teams prioritize where to look first, which claims may need deeper review, and where billing behavior appears inconsistent with expected patterns.
Parity Plus supports public health care systems by helping them:
Detect questionable claims earlier
Identify fraud, waste, and abusive billing patterns
Strengthen audit and program integrity support, including inventories and orders
Improve visibility across complex claims activity
Reduce avoidable financial leakage
Support more disciplined use of public funds
Protect access by helping resources go to legitimate care
AI-Powered Intelligence. Human-Led Decisions.
Parity Plus does not replace human judgment.
Our platform helps oversight teams see more clearly, prioritize more effectively, and review more efficiently. AI can surface patterns, anomalies, and risk signals, but final decisions remain with experienced professionals who understand the health care system, the policy environment, and the needs of patients and providers.
This approach helps public systems strengthen review without creating unnecessary disruption for legitimate providers or patients.
Oversight Gaps Are Already Being Identified
Recent public reporting in Ontario underscores the need for stronger claims oversight. The Office of the Auditor General of Ontario’s 2025 audit examined the Ministry of Health’s systems for identifying, preventing, reviewing, and correcting inappropriate physician billings.
According to reporting on the Auditor General’s findings, the Ministry paid $19.5 billion to about 35,000 physicians in 2024 and 2025 and relied primarily on tips and complaints to trigger post-payment audits.
The report also found that OHIP could not automatically flag unusual or high-risk billings, such as physicians claiming more than 24 hours of work in a day.
This is exactly the kind of visibility gap our proprietary AI-powered claims intelligence platform addresses.
From Reactive Review to Earlier Detection
-
Provider Outliers
Billing behavior that differs meaningfully from similar providers, regions, or service categories.
-
Excessive Utilization
Claims volume, frequency, or duration that appears inconsistent with typical care patterns.
-
Claims Redundancy
Repeated, inconsistent, or overlapping charges that may require further review.
-
High-Cost Anomalies
Claims or provider patterns that create disproportionate financial exposure.
-
Billing Behavior
Patterns that may suggest abuse of reimbursement systems or vulnerable patient populations.
-
Program-Level Leakage
Areas where public funds may be leaving the system through fraud, abuse, or inefficient payment activity.

Supporting Claims Integrity for OHIP
For OHIP and other provincial health plans, we can increase visibility across health-related claims, identify questionable billing earlier, and reduce leakage from fraudulent, abusive, or excessive claims. At the scale of a provincial health care system, even small billing irregularities can become significant. We detect patterns across providers, service categories, regions, utilization activity, and reimbursement data, giving oversight teams stronger tools to protect public health care dollars, including:
Identify suspicious or excessive billing patterns earlier
Detect provider outliers and unusual utilization trends
Strengthen audit and program integrity support
Improve transparency in reimbursement activity
Reduce leakage from fraudulent or abusive claims
Support disciplined use of public health care funds
Preserve access by helping resources go to legitimate care
