About the Dispatch Geo Signals Map
The Dispatch Geo Signals Confidence Scoring System is a public-interest investigative tool developed by The W.C. Dispatch. It identifies Medicaid providers whose billing patterns exhibit statistical anomalies commonly associated with fraud, waste, or abuse at the state and national level.
The system relies exclusively on publicly available federal data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System. No protected health information, private records, or non-public data sources are used.
Providers are scored across multiple independent dimensions -- including payment volume, billing intensity, service-code concentration, spending trends, and geographic clustering -- and compared against peer benchmarks within their own state. Scores reflect the density of anomaly indicators present, not a determination of wrongdoing.
This is a lead-generation tool, not a verdict. A high score means a provider's public billing data contains patterns that warrant further review. It does not mean fraud has occurred. All leads require independent investigation and corroboration before any conclusions can be drawn.
Appearance on this map does not constitute an accusation against any provider.
State authorities, Medicaid Fraud Control Units, Offices of Inspector General, and program integrity teams may request a confidential technical white paper detailing the full scoring methodology, system architecture, and known limitations by contacting tipline@WCDispatch.com.
