Issue 3 – 2011
Fraud Protection
Bottom-line, workers’ comp fraud results in higher premiums, and is a major challenge for any business. In this issue, we focus on such topics as premium fraud, claimant fraud, provider fraud, and tell you about tell-tale signs that can be considered “Red Flags of Fraud.” We also brief you on our efforts to combat fraud through our special investigation unit, and our partnership with the Fraud Assessment Commission.
This will be the last issue of the COMPonents policyholder newsletter. Going forward, we will utilize other resources to share information with our customers, such as expanded feature articles through our corporate web site at statefundca.com.
Over the years, COMPonents covered many topics that will continue to be important to employers. Electronic versions of past issues of COMPonents will remain available on the Employer page of statefundca.com and there is a small supply of print versions available by request:
