In my opinion,workers compensation fraud is a serious problem because workers compensation is a expense in Florida's business. Fraudulent acts have a negative impact on the price you pay for workers compensation to run your company. Workers compensation fraud is committed by employers, employees, and insurance companies.
The following explains different ways workers compensation fraud is committed':
Claimant Fraud:Malingering or exaggeration of symptoms, working while allegedly disabled and not reporting income, claiming a job-related injury that never occurred, claiming a non-work related injury as a work-related injury, and falsifying mileage reports.
Employer Fraud: Underreporting payroll or misclassifying employees for lower insurance premiums, deducting premium dollars from employee’s wages, and employer knowingly fails to have necessary workers’ compensation coverage.
Medical or Health Care Provider Fraud: Providing unnecessary testing or treatment of injured workers to reap financial benefit, billing for services or treatment never performed, and billing the workers’ compensation insurer and the workers’ health insurer for the same services.
