Members can access and read the articles on the Anti-Fraud Journal link on the web site: www.insuranceantifraudprofessionals.com. It covers the claims areas: life, health, and travel. The articles are much more than human interest stories. They analyze how these fraudulent claims were perpetrated and uncovered.

Each article under life, health, travel, and the Anti-Fraud Training link further offers lessons, critical knowledge that provides insights for Claims Examiners and Investigators.

From reading the Anti-Fraud Journal and our publications, claims examiners and management personnel could find several cases the circumstances of which mirror those they may have presently in the office. It would therefore no longer be concerning to conjecture the conclusions that they reach and the final decisions they take on their claims. Those circumstances would no longer be ‘green’ to them.

If from their work the fraudulent claims are ferreted and not paid, it enhances their professionalism and status. The company’s profit margins are further enhanced too.

For field investigators, such knowledge on the Anti-Fraud Journal and our publications helps them to improve on the performance of their work particularly if they are self-employed.

If they professionally investigate and effectively report on a claim, they stand greater chances to receive additional investigative assignments from their principals. Further, they would recommend them to other companies who may need their services. Their financial revenue is also thereby enhanced.

Insurance attorneys and legal advisers review investigative reports particularly those on suspicious claims or those proven to be fraudulent or contain aspects of fraud. These are cases the insurer’s claims section or department could turn down and therefore may be litigated by either party, the insurer or the claimant, in the courts.

As members, they would no longer be perplexed and bemused by the audacity of fraudulent claimants. Often, such claimants are the first to take the insurers to court when their bogus claims are turned down. Some of the insurers’ attorneys and legal advisers are then in a dilemma whether these cases could be litigated successfully because they are oblivious of similar cases. Now, the Anti-Fraud Journal link and our publications may contain articles the circumstances of which may be eerily similar to the case they presently handle. This therefore affords them an avenue to cite or refer to these other cases and thus enhance the successful defense or prosecution of their case.
