LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The Workers' Compensation Fraud Prevention workshop teaches managers how to recognize the different types of Workers' Compensation fraud and lower the rate of fraudulent claims.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates that WC 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 WC fraud. Twenty percent of respondents in an Insurance Research Center survey said they were aware of a WC fraud scheme at their workplace. The most notorious WC 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 workshop is to empower managers with the information they need to actively lower incidents of WC fraud in their organizations. This workshop 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 WC fraud.
