Bynn offers an AI-driven document fraud detection solution specifically designed to combat insurance fraud, allowing insurers to instantly verify the authenticity of documents and stop bogus claims in their tracks.
It involves a range of fraudulent activities, including deliberate deception and misrepresentation, such as faked accident reports, altered health insurances, and other illegal actions intended to deceive insurance providers. Fraudulent insurance claims – from faked accident reports to altered medical invoices – drive up costs for businesses and consumers by hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Insurance fraud costs businesses and consumers approximately $308.6 billion a year, and fraudulent claims account for a significant portion of all claims received by insurers, costing billions of dollars annually.
Insurance providers and insurance agents are key stakeholders affected by insurance fraud, both as victims and as important players in combating fraud. Advanced technology is now helping turn the tide; industry experts expect the widespread adoption of AI-powered detection to significantly reduce these losses by catching fraudulent claims early, highlighting the importance of combating fraud to protect both insurers and consumers.

The High Cost of Fake Insurance Documents
Fraudsters continually find new ways to doctor paperwork, and the insurance industry bears the brunt. Recent data reveals that roughly 1 in 4 financial documents shows signs of tampering, and about 1 in 50 is a high-quality fakecreated from templates or other illicit methods. In insurance claims, this translates to a significant portion of submitted evidence (bills, receipts, reports) being potentially unreliable. The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud estimates overall insurance fraud (across all lines) costs over $300 billion annually in the U.S. alone. The FBI estimates that insurance fraud costs the average family between $400 and $700 a year in premiums. Insurance fraud accounts for about 10 percent of the property/casualty insurance industry's incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Modern forgeries are often invisible to the naked eye – a PDF bill may look legitimate but contain subtle inconsistencies or metadata indicating tampering. Traditional manual fraud checks or basic automated business rules struggle to catch these sophisticated fakes. Advances in analytical technology, including predictive modeling, are crucial in the fight against insurance fraud to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes. Insurers now use a combination of business rules, predictive modeling, and link analysis to flag suspicious claims for further review. Statistical analysis may involve supervised and unsupervised machine learning to detect fraudulent claims.
Insurance companies have established special investigation units (SIUs) staffed with fraud investigators to identify and investigate suspicious claims. These dedicated teams work closely with organizations such as the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which collaborates to identify repeat offenders of insurance fraud. When a claim is flagged as suspicious, it is not automatically deemed fraudulent but is subject to further review and investigation by these specialized units.

This is where Bynn’s AI “bionic eyes” come in, acting as an always-vigilant inspector that can spot what human reviewers miss.
By leveraging artificial intelligence trained on millions of documents and known fraud patterns, Bynn’s platform can detect anomalies in documents with forensic precision, helping insurers avoid costly payouts on false claims. Statistical analysis in Bynn's AI may involve supervised and unsupervised machine learning to detect fraudulent claims.
Types of Insurance Fraud
Insurance fraud takes many forms, but it’s generally divided into two main categories: hard fraud and soft fraud.

Hard Fraud
Hard fraud occurs when someone deliberately stages an event—like faking a car accident, inventing a work-related injury, or orchestrating a theft—with the sole purpose of filing a false insurance claim and commit insurance fraud. This type of crime is often premeditated and can involve individuals, organized crime rings, or even, in rare cases, corrupt insiders within insurance companies. When hard fraud occurs, it can lead to significant financial losses for insurers and drive up costs for everyone who pays for insurance since they are forcefully paying claims.

Soft Fraud
Soft fraud is more subtle but just as damaging in the long run. It happens when a person exaggerates legitimate claims, omits relevant information, or provides misleading details on an insurance application to secure a lower premium or a higher payout. For example, someone might inflate the value of stolen property or underreport their annual mileage to reduce their auto insurance costs. While some may see soft fraud as a harmless shortcut, it is still a crime and contributes to higher premiums and stricter policies for honest consumers.
Both hard and soft fraud undermine trust in the insurance industry, making it harder for insurance companies to process legitimate claims quickly and fairly. By understanding the different ways fraud can occur, insurers and consumers alike can be more vigilant in spotting suspicious activity and supporting efforts to fight insurance fraud.
Purpose-Built for Insurance Workflows
Bynn’s AI-powered document verification acts like a forensic detective for your insurance documents. It doesn’t simply read the text on a page – instead, it examines how the document is constructed. This includes analyzing file metadata, font and image structures, digital signatures, and any signs of editing or manipulation. Because it inspects structural elements rather than just content, Bynn’s system works on any document format (PDF, images, scans) and in any language, all while preserving customer privacy (sensitive personal information in the content is not needed for fraud analysis). When there is suspected fraud, it is crucial to collect evidence and conduct a thorough investigation to substantiate any suspicions and support potential legal actions.
Bynn cross-references each document against a growing database of known fraudulent templates (200,000+ and updated daily), as well as a deep repository of authentic documents (including examples dating back to 2003). This combination of known-pattern matching and anomaly detection means even new fraud tactics get recognized and flagged. Bynn’s analysis leverages predictive modeling and statistical analysis, including supervised and unsupervised machine learning, to detect fraudulent claims efficiently. Fraud investigators may use the results of Bynn's analysis to determine if a document requires further review or a more detailed investigation.

Purpose-Built for Insurance Workflows
In automated claims processes, failing to screen for fake documents means you might inadvertently approve fraud. Maintaining integrity in every insurance transaction is crucial to prevent insurance fraud and ensure fair practices. Bynn acts as a fraud filter in your workflow, ensuring no document slips through unchecked. Unlike generic document tools that add fraud checks as an afterthought, Bynn was built exclusively for document fraud detection – catching forgeries is its primary mission. It detects tricks other systems miss and adapts quickly to evolving tactics, without you having to settle for bolt-on solutions.
Bynn uses business rules alongside advanced AI to flag suspicious activity, enhancing the detection of fraudulent claims. Insurance agents and insurance providers play a key role in combating fraud within these automated workflows, working together to identify and prevent deceptive practices.
Bynn’s analysis also respects privacy. Because the AI examines document structure rather than reading personal content, your customers’ sensitive data stays private. The system is language-agnostic – it can spot a fake document in any language, since fraud clues lie in the file’s composition, not its wording.

Transparent Results and Custom Decisions for Fraud Investigators
Instead of giving you a cryptic probability score, Bynn provides a clear verdict for each document – e.g. Trusted (authentic), Warning (some suspicions), or High Risk (likely fraudulent) – and the specific reasons behind it. Documents flagged as suspicious may be subject to further review by fraud investigators, ensuring that only genuinely fraudulent claims are escalated. No more puzzling over what a “68% risk” means; the AI shows exactly which elements were altered or why it flagged the file, so your team can act quickly and confidently.
Bynn also lets you customize its criteria to fit your risk appetite by adjusting business rules and leveraging predictive modeling. These advanced techniques can be tailored to your organization, improving fraud detection and ensuring that the system aligns with your specific needs. If your policy says never accept a document photo (e.g. a screenshot), you can configure the system to flag those automatically. Despite these tailored rules, the AI maintains near-99% accuracyin its decision, so you get only the alerts you need with minimal false alarms.

Going Beyond Documents: Behavioral Insights
Even beyond the documents themselves, Bynn can factor in behavioral data – device fingerprints, user patterns, and other context – to catch coordinated fraud that single-document checks might miss, to prevent various types of fraud like identity theft, faked property claims or fraudulent documents to fool medical care providers. Advanced fraud detection techniques, such as artificial intelligence and predictive modeling, are increasingly used to identify and flag suspicious claims and coordinated fraudulent activities before payout, enhancing the insurer's ability to prevent fraud proactively and efficiently. By combining document forensics with these external signals, you can detect up to 30% more fraud than by analyzing documents alone. This means rings of fraudsters using multiple identities or accounts can be identified and stopped in their tracks. Special investigation units within insurance companies, along with organizations like the National Insurance Crime Bureau, play a crucial role in combating fraud rings that engage in organized schemes, such as faking traffic deaths or staging collisions, to make false insurance claims.
