Anti-Fraud Plan

The purpose and goal of our Anti-Fraud Plan is to educate, detect, investigate and deter insurance fraud thereby reducing insurance costs.

Anti-Fraud Strategies

As part of the Company's management process, the InsureMax Insurance Company's claim staff will endeavor to thoroughly review each claim and identify those claims exhibiting fraud related indications, red flag events and situations or behavior indicative of fraud schemes. As such, the Company's claim staff will act as the first phase in detecting questionable claims and will refer them to the appropriate investigative unit for further analysis. The investigative unit will also act in an advisory capacity to the underwriting department.

Special investigations will include the application of techniques and resources to resolve fraud issues. Investigative results are used to decide which course of action is warranted. Recommendations may include claim payment, claim reduction, claim denial or opportunity to withdraw claim, or the pursuit of restitution if the claim was paid, and possible law enforcement referral.
