Strategies and Solutions For Alternative SIU Management

Every insurance company conducting business in California with several exceptions, are under a state mandate to discourage and monitor the presentation of false or fraudulent claims and conduct prompt and thorough investigations including reporting suspected fraudulent claims to the CDI, Fraud Division and law enforcement.

To meet this mandate, California requires insurers to develop and maintain an anti-fraud plan and Special Investigative Unit (SIU) in all lines of business. Insurers’ are faced with substantial penalties for failing to comply with Special Investigative Unit Regulations and the Insurance Frauds Prevention Act (IFPA) whether through inadvertence or wilful non-non-compliance. Insurers cannot shift its liability by outsourcing its anti-fraud program to SIU contract service providers and must be increasingly diligent when contracting with outside private investigation firms that advertise specialization in SIU investigations and anti-fraud compliance.
