Insurance fraud is a deliberate act of deception committed by an individual or organization to unlawfully gain benefits or claim payments from an insurance company. It comes in various forms, including filing false claims, inflating claim values, falsifying data, colluding with other parties, and manipulating information during the underwriting process.
Insurance investigations involve collecting and verifying information to confirm the validity of claims, including witness interviews, analysis of supporting documents, field inspections, and detection of potential fraud indicators.
