HLT-015 — Synthetic Insurance Medical Claims Dataset — Payer Operations (Sample Preview)
A free, schema-identical preview of the full HLT-015 commercial product from XpertSystems.ai.
A fully synthetic enterprise-grade payer-side healthcare claims dataset combining member eligibility / enrollment, prior authorization workflows, end-to-end claim adjudication (Professional / Institutional / Pharmacy / Dental / Vision / Behavioral Health), fraud detection with 12 NHCAA typologies, value-based care contract attribution (5 HHS LAN APM categories), and HEDIS quality measure tracking — calibrated to AHIP / CMS / NHCAA / NCQA / HCUP / CAQH benchmarks.
⚠️ PRIVACY & SYNTHETIC NATURE Every record in this dataset is 100% synthetic. No real patient data, no PHI, no real provider NPIs, no real claim records. Population-level distributions match published AHIP / CMS / NHCAA / NCQA / HCUP / CAQH / FAIR Health references but the claims, members, and authorizations are computationally generated.
How does this differ from HLT-008 Healthcare Claims?
Both products cover synthetic healthcare claims, but from different operational perspectives:
| Aspect | HLT-008 (Provider/X12 Billing) | HLT-015 (Payer Operations) |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer persona | Provider revenue cycle, X12 EDI integrators | Payer ops, prior auth admin, fraud SIU |
| Schema focus | X12 837/835 EDI structure, HCC risk adjustment, CMS CCW chronic conditions | Claim adjudication workflow, prior auth, fraud typology, value-based care attribution |
| Member view | 21 CCW chronic conditions, CMS HCC risk score | 15 chronic conditions, RAF + expected annual cost |
| Fraud taxonomy | 5 NHCAA patterns (Upcoding/Phantom/Unbundling/Duplicate/Identity_Theft) | 12 NHCAA typologies (full taxonomy including DME, Kickback, Provider Impersonation, etc.) |
| Quality measures | HEDIS 5 measures (BCS, COL, CDC, AWV, Depression) | NCQA HEDIS extended (SPC, MPT, TRC, CDC, PCR) |
| Workflow coverage | Claim adjudication outcome | Full lifecycle: eligibility → PA → submission → adjudication → fraud SIU → VBC attribution |
| Adjudication engines | n/a | Tracked: which payer engine adjudicated |
| VBC attribution | n/a | 5 contract types (FFS/Shared Savings/Capitation/Bundled/P4P) |
| Prior authorization | n/a | Separate workflow table with peer-to-peer + appeals |
| Schema width | 54 cols medical claims | 52 cols claims + 33 cols members + 16 cols prior auth |
Use HLT-008 for X12 EDI pipeline development, provider revenue cycle, and HCC risk adjustment ML. Use HLT-015 for payer operations analytics, prior auth optimization, fraud SIU investigation, and value-based care contract performance modeling.

Limitations & honest disclosures
- Sample is preview-only. 5K claims × 300 members × 12 months is enough to demonstrate schema and calibration, but is not statistically sufficient for production-grade fraud classifier training (only ~166 fraud-labeled claims at sample scale, across 12 typology classes = ~14 per class). Use the full product for serious work.
- Sample uses 12-month observation, not 36-month default. The full product's default 36-month window enables 30-day readmission tracking across full episodes-of-care and multi-year HCC risk adjustment trajectories.
- Fraud labels are statistically planted, not adjudicated. When the generator marks a claim fraud=1, it manipulates billing features (excessive amounts, unbundling patterns, etc.) to look fraud-like. Real fraud labels come from SIU investigation outcomes — use the synthetic labels for ML pipeline development, not pathophysiological inference.
- Provider NPIs are synthetic 10-digit strings, not real CMS NPPES numbers. Provider taxonomy codes are realistic placeholder strings.
- Member IDs are synthetic UUIDs, not real payer member ID formats.
- No real ICD-10/CPT/DRG-specific payment rates.
paid_amountis calibrated to overall paid/allowed ratios, not specific Medicare IPPS/OPPS or commercial fee schedules. - Fraud risk scores follow realistic distributions but are not derived from explainable ML. Use the field for downstream ML, not for fraud explainability research.
- No coordination of benefits (COB) cascade simulation. The
cob_primary_paidandcob_secondary_paidfields are calibrated to realistic split ratios but do not simulate multi-payer claim handoff workflows. - HEDIS measures are name-only references. The full HEDIS denominator / numerator / exclusion logic is not enforced — the
hedis_measure_triggeredfield flags claims that would trigger a measure but does not validate eligibility populations. - Synthetic, not derived from real payer data. Distributions match published AHIP/CMS/NHCAA/NCQA references but do NOT reflect any specific real payer (UnitedHealth, Anthem, Aetna, Humana, etc.).
