NU Online News Service, May 6, 2:50 p.m. EDT--Orlando, Fla.--Efforts to fight workers' compensation fraud are being helped by new laws and a positive legislative climate, but hindered by financial constraints and an apathetic judiciary, the head of an anti-fraud group said.
The commentary by Dennis Jay, executive director of the Washington-based Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, was delivered at the National Council on Compensation Insurance's annual meeting held here this week. His observations included results from a coalition survey of 12 states with law enforcement units devoted exclusively to combating comp fraud.
Mr. Jay's talk, titled "Fraud Trends In Workers' Compensation Fraud--Are We Winning The Battle?" included a rundown on what he said were the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to efforts to combat comp fraud.
