Government fraud existed long before the dawn of cybersecurity and digital technology, but today’s adversaries use cutting-edge tools and breakneck efficiency to exploit infrastructure vulnerabilities to try to claim taxpayer dollars. Due to this constant evolution and proliferation of fraud schemes, Peraton works closely with its government partners to outpace and outthink adversaries.
This technology solution is called Rapid Fraud Intelligence (Rapid FI).

Built on more than a decade of operational experience supporting CMS fraud prevention efforts, Rapid FI continues to drive measurable impact across federal healthcare programs:
- Identified $59 billion in suspicious Medicare claims and $3 billion in suspicious Medicaid claims in 2025 alone.
- Helped prevent $7.8 billion in improper payments through fraud investigations and enforcement activities in 2025.
- Reduced runtime for more than 300 fraud detection models from 16 hours to 6 hours, while lowering execution costs by 33%.
- Rejected or denied more than 3.1 million pre-payment claim lines in 2025, preventing over $827 million in fraudulent payments before funds were disbursed.
