LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates that workers’
compensation fraud is the fastest growing insurance scam in the
nation. Today, 10 cents out of each premium dollar is wasted
on fraud.No organization is immune to workers’ compensation fraud.
Twenty percent of respondents in an Insurance Research Center
survey said they were aware of a workers’ compensation fraud
scheme at their workplace. The most notorious workers’ compensation fraud is the phony
workplace injury. Fraud can also take the form of malingering:
an employee prolonging a legitimate claim to avoid returning
to work. The objective of this session is to empower managers with the
information they need to actively lower incidents of workers’
compensation fraud in their organizations. This symposium will help you to:
- Recognize the subtle signs of abuse and fraud
- Understand the legal distinction between fraud and abuse
- Understand and leverage the CIRMA Special Investigative
Unit (SIU) efforts to control fraud and abuse
- Understand and communicate supervisory responsibilities
in fraud prevention and control
- Build an organizational culture that does not tolerate
workers’ compensation fraud
