Rep. Yakym questioned witnesses at a Ways and Means Medicare fraud hearing and pushed for answers on whether law or regulation prevents CMS from deploying real-time claims analytics and predictive AI tools used by Medicare Advantage and private insurers to stop fraud before payments go out.

CMS testified that it deploys advanced data analytics before payments are made, uses a Fraud Defense Operations Center to detect and prevent fraud in real time, and that the Fraud Prevention System uses advanced analytics and predictive modeling on millions of claims daily so CMS can intervene before funds are disbursed.
Assessments
Yakym took direct same-term oversight action on the exact promise by questioning witnesses about whether CMS could deploy real-time claims analytics and predictive AI tools to stop Medicare fraud before payment. CMS testimony also indicates the agency was already using advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and real-time fraud-prevention systems before payments were disbursed. However, the evidence does not show that Yakym caused CMS to adopt a new policy or materially changed CMS practice, so this is best credited as partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
