When authorities conducted a massive, sweeping health care fraud crackdown in Florida last June, South Florida alone netted 124 people accused of $337 million in false billings. The big bust only illustrated what physicians, medical insurance companies and legal experts have been saying for years:

Health Insurance fraud is not a problem, it’s an epidemic.

Now, imagine trying to run a in-home therapy business in South Florida, and despite taking all possible precautions, you still risk being fined, penalized, and de-licensed if your contractors or employees bill for sessions that were shorter than promised — or ones that never even happened.

Speak Easy Solutions needed solid verification that employees and contractors were showing up for their appointments or staying as long as they claimed, because even one or two fraudulently billed sessions could devastate their therapy business.

And XYO’s blockchain location network was exactly what they were looking for.

Introducing our new partnership with Speak Easy Solutions, an Oviedo, Florida private practice.

Speak Easy Solutions sends Speech, Physical, Occupational, and Behavioral Therapists to client homes, so those clients can learn, grow, and live as successfully as possible. Since Speak Easy Solutions’ business is almost 100% insurance-based, XYO will deliver the location data needed to verify appointments, should the insurance company need unimpeachable proof.

Speak Easy Solutions recognizes that most employees and contractors are honest individuals, but they want to continue running a safe, honest business. XYO is happy to help them succeed.
