Private Detective - Order Form In the United States insurance fraud is estimated to cost US$875 per person per year with The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud estimating the loss to be $80 billion per year and Medicare estimating fraud in its system costs the government $179 billion per year Insurance fraud is generally defined as when someone intentionally deceives another about an insurance matter to receive money or other benefits not rightfully theirs. Although insurance fraud technically includes instances when the insurer intentionally deceives the insured, the primary focus is on the insured intentionally deceiving the insurer. Nearly one of four Americans say it’s ok to defraud insurers, says a survey by the consulting firm Accenture Ltd. Some 8 percent say it’s “quite acceptable” to bilk insurers, while 16 percent say it’s “somewhat acceptable.” About one in 10 people agree it’s ok to submit claims for items that aren’t lost or damaged, or for personal injuries that didn’t occur. Two of five people are “not very likely” or “not likely at all” to report someone who ripped of an insurer. Private Detective and Private Investigators in Michigan |
