<h1>State Fund Fights Fraud</h1>
<p>Effectively fighting fraud is an important step to keep insurance costs down and protect California employers and employees. </p>
<p>The California State Legislature defined workers' compensation fraud in 1991 and imposed penalties on those involved in fraudulent activities. The legislation, combined with insurance industry programs, brought a dramatic new focus to fighting fraud, that has resulted in many arrests and convictions. State Fund continues its efforts by fighting all types of workers’ compensation fraud, including:.</p>
<ul>
<li>Premium Fraud </li>
<li>Claims Fraud </li>
<li>Provider Fraud (medical, legal, and other service providers)</li>
</ul>
<p>State Fund leads the state when it comes to fighting fraud. Our efforts have recovered and returned millions of dollars to California’s workers’ compensation system. </p>
<p>We've assembled an effective force to root out and prosecute fraud, including a statewide Special Investigation Unit. </p>
<p>State Fund maintains strong working relationships with prosecutors and law enforcement officials at the local, state, and federal levels.</p>
<p>Fraud Hotline: (888) 782-8338 / 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM, Monday - Friday<br>
