Insurance Frauds Forum

Now for the flip side of my previous post about the insurance agent defrauding his clients. This news story from yesterday is just the OPPOSITE. In this case a young man defrauds the insurance company by using a dead person name to get cheaper insurance rates. Geesh. Check this one out:

A Weymouth man was convicted today of using a dead person's name to get cheaper motor vehicle insurance from one company and lying about his driving record to another, the state attorney general's office said today.

I am sure this probably happens more times than we hear but in todays news a Michigan Insurance Agent is accused of fraud in that he was taking the clients premiums but issuing fake insurance certificates then depositing the money into his personal account. Of course this left all the clients without any insurance although they were not aware of it until they began to get cancellation notices from the companies the policies were written on.

People would probably be surprised to know that the majority of insurance fraud concerns the medical profession in some manner.

Does anyone have any experience with any fraud case involving a doctor, hospital, nursing home, hospice facility, medicare, or medicaid?

Come to think about it, that would be a good blog topic.

I find this story unbelievable. I mean I don't doubt that it is true but I can not imagine the sentence plus this quote made by his attorney:

"We are very happy with the judge's decision," Samuel said. "This doctor is an incredibly compassionate man who's helped countless people who had incurable cancers and whose children had terminal diseases. He provided hope."

Telemarketers annoy me to no end. I don't want my carpet cleaned, I don't feel like changing my phone company, I don't want my windows washed, and I don't have a car to buy insurance on either.

I just tell them "Please hold" and I stick on some classical music and go to lunch.

When a doctor releases someone from compensation to light duty and the company has not light duty available, is the company still responsible to pay the person? Will compensation continue to pay them until they are released to full duty?

Thought it best to start a new topic. Maybe there's people out there that have questions about DRP's and the shops that become one.

I've got quite a bit of experience with the direct repair program process and it's ups and downs, yes. There's a fair bit that goes on behind the scenes, and that's where I see some headaches.

Do you have any experience with them where you are? What do you think of them?

Hi...Is it worthy of buying an insurance program from a credit card co. ? Antony&Bargomy

why does the claimant have to use the insurance companys preferred contractor when he's two times more expensive than any other contractor and why, if you decide to do the iob yourself does the amount of the claim drop by two thirds?

is it considered a conflict of interest if adjusters become close friends with the restoration company they use to repair there clients homes? by this i meen, going to the restoration owners cottage for week-ends, borrowing his seadoo's, fourwheelers, and even having the restoration company use their vehicles and employees to move the adjusters family member from one city to another with no money changing hands?
