Crackdown investigators fraud
Since the establishment of a new fraud unit within the Commission in mid-insurance-2004, but the government has launched a hard look at those who, against the laws of insurance.
“We are very new. We try to speak to us, “said Gary Griffith, General Commission of the Insurance Fraud Unit.
“The bill that the unity of fight against fraud has led us to existence in July 2004 and the first year was really happened just before the structure together,” he said.
In July 2005, the former Workers’ Compensation Commission, in conjunction with the fraud unit of insurance of the Commission and, today, Griffith has more than 30 people work in the fight against fraud of the companies’ insurance in West Virginia.
“We believe that we are near the end of our development process and basic training. In addition, in the future you will see increased efforts of our unity, “said Griffith.” Once the floor, I think, more repression and want to be citizens of our services.
The assurance of the Commission for Unity fight against fraud complaints from consumers can, instigators of their own investigations and coordination with other law enforcement agencies.
In June, for example, Shinnston residence Kelly Cain pleaded guilty to a crime, we can cite the acquisition of a controlled substance by deception and one count of crime of insurance fraud. The case was the product of an investigation by the department for the fight against fraud and Harrison County and Lewis Drugs Task Forces “.
Cain, 27, acknowledged she uses the name of his daughter for drugs rules fraudulent, which is a crime and files a false insurance claim, an offence while working in the past year a Doctor’s Care Plan Revenues were charged and paid by insurance.
Each case of suspected insurance fraud is different, and Griffith, said an employee of 10 or 11 research and analysis specialists in the first phase of the investigation, fraud, it is a management level research background information to determine if a complaint has the nature and which deserve priority cases.
If an incident warrants an investigation, one of 22 investigators territory of eight regional offices in the state, took the case.
This year, the division of the fight against fraud changes the way it tracks cases, there may be some fraud is not a shift by tears.
For example, the Commission adopted the registration and storage of more information about the identities of complaints and referrals, and even if a case is administratively attached to lack of power or resources, can make so that investigators and see if the same person is the subject of a series of complaints over time.
A glance at the fight against fraud Unit’s Fall data since early 2006 may seem confusing at first, “said Griffith, but it shows the unity of fight against fraud, is to achieve convictions so far this year in more than half of his indictment for fraud.
Several factors, for example, how many times a Landkreis’s Grand Jury takes how long does a survey of the number of offences or a suspect is underway for all affect the unity of anti-fraud Statistics, he said.
