Collaborate to Develop Solutions and Best Practices

MIFA members are leaders in fraud reduction working collaboratively to share best practices necessary to identify fraud trends and patterns. MIFA members collaborate to develop tools, technologies and processes necessary to increase loss avoidance, improve consumer confidence and assist with law enforcement prosecutions.

As a MIFA member, your company gains opportunities to deepen its fraud management expertise. Members gain access to members-only meetings, events and teleconferences. Members participating on our Board of Directors and Steering Committee develop our agendas and working groups to focus on issues such as compliance with regulations (HIPAA/HITECH), policies and procedures governing patient data, management activities, technologies, security governance practices, risk assessments and closing the gap between data breach identification and notification. The interaction and sharing of information are the strongest tools that will help MIFA to slow the expansion of medical identity fraud.
