The problem is not that the CDU is too focused on minor instances of possibly fraudulent behavior and casting too wide a net, but rather that many instances of likely fraud are never investigated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-35090312891406175982012-05-21T15:50:19.385-04:002012-05-21T15:50:19.385-04:00The Cooperative Disability Units do not have the a...The Cooperative Disability Units do not have the authority to investigate fraudulent behavior by insurance companies.

When I represented workers, I saw much more questionable activity from overzealous adjusters trying to gip workers with meritorious claims. <br /><br />I would sometimes catch them, but the statutory penalties were so small that it made business sense for the insurers to keep stonewalling legitimate claims, considering a good many would get fed up and drop them. Somehow, these investigation units don't consider such activity to be "fraud" even if it is intentional wrongdoing that harms people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-8189224420986132912012-05-21T09:09:13.108-04:002012-05-21T09:09:13.108-04:00A real problem, but not that reveiling article.A real problem, but not that reveiling article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-75139487607546723592012-05-21T06:50:39.619-04:002012-05-21T06:50:39.619-04:00A large grain of salt should be ingested with any ...A large grain of salt should be ingested with any statistic that can be used to justify staffing.The bureaucracy will often mandate referrals on even minor cases to increase the numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-64454371406098901282012-05-20T21:19:56.268-04:002012-05-20T21:19:56.268-04:00Anyone have any stats on the percentage of "s...Anyone have any stats on the percentage of "similar fault" cases that actually end up in a prosecution for fraud? It seems to me that most cdiu cases are based on such thin evidence that the could never hold up in a court.
