Health Insurance Management Process in Hospitals Using Blockchain Secured Framework

Abstract

The number of healthcare insurance frauds increases year by year, which causes tremendous concern in society. Healthcare insurance fraud exists in various forms, such as falsifying information, concealing third-party liability, falsified electronic bill and so on. The current healthcare insurance system requires a lot of manpower and resources which bears heavily on the system. Hundreds of millions of medical records have been compromised in 2016 and the number increases. The emerging blockchain technology is a revolutionary mechanism, which ensures data integrity and confidentiality inside any system. We design a distributed platform with blockchain as a system service for supporting transaction execution of health insurance processes.
