In recent years many states have passed sweeping legislation to promote reform of our Workers’ Compensation system. Plagued with the rising costs of insuring workers many companies have joined the fight to contain expenditures in this area.
Previously companies entrusted investigations of suspected fraud and misuse of the system to their insurance carriers. Often times unsatisfied with the results produced by the carrier some companies simply paid the rising premiums associated with the elevated experience modification factor. A recent trend for some companies has been to become more personally involved with the overall administration of their claims, to include the investigation of suspected fraud.
In furtherance of our mission to assist employers maintain a safe and profitable workplace, free of elicit activity, Employment Check, Inc. contracts directly with employers to investigate suspected workers’ compensation fraud. Working directly with the employer provides for real-time reporting, on-going exchange of new information, positive identification of surveillance targets via electronic photography exchange and the ability to monitor expenditures. The aforementioned elements can provide long-term savings which result from successful endeavors.
Our cases are conducted with the expectation that each component of the investigation will be reviewed by a third party and closely examined for completeness and legal compliance. Whether the examining party is an administrative law judge, a state Workers’ Compensation Bureau, the District Attorneys Office or a judge in a criminal proceeding our cases are prepared to meet and exceed industry standards.
