      ab: Healthcare fraud is an expensive, white-collar crime in the United States, and it is not a victimless crime. Costs associated with fraud are passed on to the population in the form of increased premiums or serious harm to beneficiaries. There is an intense need for digital healthcare fraud detection systems to evolve in combating this societal threat. Due to the complex, heterogenic data systems and varied health models across the US, implementing digital advancements in healthcare is difficult. The end goal of healthcare fraud detection is to provide leads to the investigators that can then be inspected more closely with the possibility of recoupments, recoveries, or referrals to the appropriate authorities or agencies. In this article, healthcare fraud detection systems and methods found in the literature are described and summarized. A tabulated list of peer-reviewed articles in this research domain listing the main objectives, conclusions, and data characteristics is provided. The potential gaps identified in the implementation of such systems to real-world healthcare data will be discussed. The authors propose several research topics to fill these gaps for future researchers in this domain.
