Fraud
What is insurance fraud?
Each state defines insurance fraud differently, but generally, fraud occurs when someone intentionally misrepresents information or hides the truth with the intent to receive money or other benefits from an insurance company.
Misrepresentations may be in written or oral statements, computer-generated documents, electronic claim filings, or other data transmissions that contain false or misleading material information. Insurance fraud may involve acts committed by an employee, employer, agent or medical provider.
