NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HMS, a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS Holdings Corp. (NAS: HMSY) , announced today that the company has been invited to present on June 28th at the Dutch Healthcare Authority's seminar on healthcare fraud in Utrecht, Netherlands. Attendees of the conference include healthcare insurers, scientists, and other government anti-fraud officials.
In the morning session, Bill Lucia, CEO of HMS, will discuss the role that data mining plays in the identification and prevention of healthcare fraud in the United States. In the afternoon, HMS, along with a Dutch health insurer, will present case studies focused on the detection and prevention of fraud, waste, and abuse.

"Over the past 30 years, HMS has assembled the people, processes, and technologies required to identify improper payments in the U.S. healthcare system," remarked Lucia. "We are looking forward to sharing the knowledge we've amassed over the years to assist the NZa in understanding the best practices we've developed in combating fraud, waste and abuse in healthcare."
