INSURANCE FRAUD IS EPIDEMIC Insurance fraud continually takes more money each year than it did the last from the insurance buying public. There is no certain number. No one knows the amount that is taken by insurance fraud because most attempts at insurance fraud succeed. Estimates of the extent of insurance fraud in the United States range from $87 billion to more than $300 billion every year. The only certainty is that it is a serious crime that bleeds the insurance industry sufficiently to have states compel insurers to create special investigative units (SIU's) to investigate, deter and defeat insurance fraud to assist the state in its efforts to prosecute the crime. Insurers and government backed pseudo-insurers can only estimate the extent they lose to fraudulent claims. Lack of sufficient investigation and prosecution of insurance criminals is endemic. Most insurance fraud criminals are not detected. Those that are detected do so because they became greedy, sloppy and unprofessional so that the attempted fraud becomes so obvious it cannot be ignored. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) estimated that almost 25% of the bodily injury claims related to auto crashes are bogus. Property and casualty claims against auto insurance are not much better, coming in at around a 10% fraud rate. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) reports that insurance fraud occurs when an insurance company, agent, adjuster or consumer commits a deliberate deception in order to obtain an illegitimate gain. It can occur during the process of buying, using, selling, or underwriting insurance. Insurance fraud may fall into different categories from individuals committing fraud against consumers to individuals committing fraud against insurance companies. Non-medical insurance fraud is estimated at over at $40 billion dollars per year. Fraud not only inflicts extra costs on insurance companies, but it also financially impacts consumers, costing the average U.S. family between $400 and $700 per year in premiums. When insurers and governments put on a serious effort to reduce the amount of insurance fraud the number of claims presented to insurers and the pseudo-government-based or funded insurers drops logarithmically. Insurance fraud is not limited to the US. In Britain fraud costs the British economy amounts estimated in billions of British pounds. Since the amount of fraud actually detected is a small portion of what was actually found, the estimates published are little more than an educated guess. Vendors and organizations include the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (CAIF), CSC, Detica NetReveal, Equifax, Experian, FICO, IBM, Innovation Group, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), ISO/Verisk, KPMG, LexisNexis, FastCase, Mattersight, Mitchell, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), SAP, SAS, and TransUnion. No matter how seriously the insurers work to prove fraud the authorities often ignore them. In response, police and prosecutors complain that the insurers do nothing that police and prosecutors can use to prosecute the crime of insurance fraud while insurers complain that prosecutors ignore them when they present evidence of a fraud. There is truth in both complaints. Insurers, although compelled by statute to investigate potential insurance fraud and to present the results of their investigations to prosecutors, they are not trained as police officers. Insurance company employees, whether claims adjusters or SIU investigators are not trained to present evidence of a crime to a court. They can only advise professional insurance fraud investigators at the state departments of insurance or state police agencies who must then investigate further to obtain evidence that is sufficient for a charge of insurance fraud or to convince a Grand Jury to issue an indictment.

A Tool Available to Insurers to Thoroughly Investigate Claims and Work to Defeat FraudThe insurance Examination Under Oath ("EUO") is a formal type of interview authorized by an insurance contract. It is taken under the authority provided by the agreement of the insurer, when he, she or it acquires a policy of insurance, to submit to a condition of the insurance contract that compels the insured to appear and give sworn testimony at the demand of the insurer. Failure to appear and testify is considered a breach of a material condition. The EUO is conducted before a notary and a certified shorthand reporter who is present to give the oath to the person interviewed. The reporter will record the entire conversation and prepare a transcript to be read, reviewed, corrected and signed by the witness under penalty of perjury or by an oath taken before a notary or judge.The EUO is a tool only sparingly used by insurers in the United States. A professional insurer will only require an insured to submit to an EUO when a thorough claims investigation raises questions:1.about the application of the coverage to the facts of the loss, 2.the potentiality that a fraud is being attempted, or 3.to assist the insured in the obligation to prove to the insurer the cause and amount of loss. Although seldom used the EUO is an important tool needed by insurers when there is a question of coverage, destruction of evidence needed to prove a compensable loss or the amount of loss or evidence indicating the potential that a fraud is being attempted.The EUO and Legal Action provisions in an insurance policy are conditions precedent to an insured's ability to file suit, and that since the insured failed to substantially comply with the terms of those provisions, the appropriate remedy is dismissal without prejudice. The insured's failure to comply with these conditions does not bar his ability to bring suit to recover, but merely suspends his ability to bring suit until he has fully complied with those conditions.

Property and casualty claims against auto insurance are not much better, coming in at around a 10% fraud rate.A person commits the offense of insurance fraud by knowingly and with the intent to defraud any insurer presents or causes to be presented to any insurer any statement forming a part of, or in support of, a claim that contains any false, incomplete or misleading information concerning any fact or thing material to the claim. [18 Pa.C.S.A. § 4117(a)(2).] A person acts "knowingly" when he or she is aware that it is practically certain that his or her conduct will cause such a result. Likewise, a person acts "intentionally" when "it is his or her conscious object to engage in conduct of that nature or to cause such a result.As the industry attempts to keep pace with fraudsters' varied, ever-shifting tactics, it must deploy more innovative, effective anti-fraud technologies or risk dire losses. Vendors and organizations include the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (CAIF), CSC, Detica NetReveal, Equifax, Experian, FICO, IBM, Innovation Group, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), ISO/Verisk, KPMG, LexisNexis, Mattersight, Mitchell, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), SAP, SAS, and TransUnion.Insurers must also generate a close relationship with the state insurance department's fraud division or fraud bureau, local police agencies, the FBI, the ATF, the Postal Investigation Service, the local fire department's arson unit, local prosecutors, and the local U.S. Attorneys if they are to have any chance to reduce the effect of insurance fraud. Insurers should also work to make the general public, state legislators, state governors, congress members and U.S. Senators, and the Attorney General of the United States aware of the effect insurance fraud has on the public at large and the insurance industry.Wherever insurance is written insurance fraud exists. It is an equal opportunity fraud committed by people of every race, religion or national origin. Insurers who do not exercise serious anti-fraud efforts often complain that the local district attorneys and police agencies give a low priority to the crime of insurance fraud. No matter how seriously the insurers work to prove fraud the authorities often ignore them. In response, police and prosecutors complain that the insurers do nothing that police and prosecutors can use to prosecute the crime of insurance fraud while insurers complain that prosecutors ignore them when they present evidence of a fraud. There is truth in both complaints. Insurers, although compelled by statute to investigate potential insurance fraud and to present the results of their investigations to prosecutors, they are not trained as police officers. This book is written to make it clear to insurers, police and prosecutors that it is necessary to stop complaining and start working together to reduce the extent of insurance fraud. If they do not work together the crime will continue to metastasize until it will be impossible to write insurance at a profit or for a price anyone can afford.
