Brumell Group Certified Fraud Examiners Florida, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom: SIU MANAGEMENT & COMPLIANCE
Statistics show that insurance fraud costs US companies more than $80 billion a year, making it difficult for insurance providers to continue offering the coverage that Americans need without significantly increasing policy premiums. When fraudsters hit, everyone hurts.
To help combat increasing risk of fraud-related losses, multiple states have developed new requirements designed to help insurance providers better identify and combat fraudulent claim activity.
HELPING YOU MEET STATE REQUIREMENTS
Many of these states now mandate that insurance companies either establish in-house Special Investigative Units (called SIUs) or contract with outside SIU management and compliance providers to help develop and implement anti-fraud services and minimize risks. Florida, home to the Brumell Group, is among those states working to more proactively combat fraud. State Statute 626.9891, known as Florida’s Fraudulent Insurance Act, mandates that all insurance carriers with premiums over $10 million establish and maintain an in-house or contracted SIU. Insurers with premiums under $10 million must file a plausible anti-fraud plan.
