Is this considered insurance Fraud?

I'm not sure if it is classic fraud, such as billing for services not rendered, but it does sound like there is a problem in the billing department.  I'd write the doctor a letter explaining what happened and telling him your concern.  He/she may not be aware of the problem.  The billing department is filling in the wrong information on the form.  \n\nHowever, if the problem persists, you have your letter as proof that he knows it.  Change doctors and get all of your medical files forwarded.  Then, send a formal complaint to your state attorney general with a cc to the insurance company and the doctor.  Be sure to enclose a copy of the letter previously sent to your doctor, and his response, if any.

If you have someone elses property and do not give it back, that is a crime in many states ( depends on your state law)  it is called theft by conversion ( refusl to give it back)\n\nDoes not matter if insured or not.\n\n** of course you may just sue them in small claims court for the value of the goods.\n\n** and of course you can do both

No, it is not.    There are some "minor" crimes involving prescription fraud, such as having prescriptions written to the name of an insured relative, rather than pay retail price.  Most cases of prescription fraud, however, involve drug use and drug abuse. \n\n"Although there has been some debate as to what qualifies as a white-collar crime, the term today generally encompasses a variety of nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain."

If the accident was legit and as you have stated and you haven't made false statements or caused other mitigating circumstances that would have impeded the lawsuit then find another lawyer. There are many hungry lawyers out there that would be glad to pick up the case. Insurance companies for the most part will not pay out unless you retain a lawyer regardless of their legal and moral liability. \n\nWhat makes me question whether you have done something such as admitting fault, lying about the case or signing an agreement with the insurance company without first consulting your attorney is that most attorneys, no matter how successful or busy they are or how little the case may generate will rarely drop a case. Unless your lawyer was just a schmuck.\n\nAlso, you may wish to contact your local bar association. You may have a malpractice case against your lawyer if in fact he did cause you to incur debt and then abandoned your case without cause. There are a lot of bad layers out there.

No they are not liable for it.Maybe the Insurance should be cause "they say that it took over a year for it to develop and grow to that level."I believed the person or inpector who says this,is brought by the Insurance company.\n\nTo my experience Insurance Agencies will always try to deny it at the beginning.Consult your Lawyer,show him your policy.They might be able to help you.\n\nGood Luck

I don't know for sure, but there usually is an increase in insurance fraud after a major disaster such as this.

It is fraud.  Talk to the police.

I guess it depends on the "PROOF" you have to support the fact that it is a ficticious claim for protection.My advice would be either get a laywer or better yet stay away from the person who is making false claimes that they are being threatend.The protection order sounds to be as good for you as it is for the person asking for it.

If your b/f's employer has been paying a portion of his ex-wife's insurance premiums, as most employers do, it's fraud, but NOT insurance fraud.  State insurance laws define insurance fraud as theft that is perpetrated by or against a person or entity regulated by that State's insurance commissioner.  Since your b/f's employer isn't subject to the regulatory authority of an insurance commissioner, this isn't insurance fraud.  Again, if his employer paid any portion of his ex-wife's premiums, it has every right to sue him privately.\n\nHOWEVER -- there may have been fraud committed against the insurance company that covered her; this IS considered insurance fraud, since the theft was committed against an entity regulated by a State insurance commissioner.  Most insurers will settle for the amount paid out in benefits, minus the premiums paid, plus interest and attorney's fees; some will insist that a criminal case be brought.  So your b/f should get an attorney as soon as possible.\n\nOne thought about the child support Order:  if the Order simply pertained to the payment of child support, it means nothing; but if your b/f provided a copy of the divorce decree reflecting the FINAL child support Order, then his employer was put on notice that a divorce had occurred.  In such a case, his employer cannot take any action against him, nor can the insurer take action against him or his ex, since the employer is legally obligated to inform the insurer of any changes in status, such as divorce.\n\nI hope this helps.

Contact your insurance company. Abond is a piece of paper kind of proof of insurance.

I don't think its right... I used to work for a company that did this...its not so much the company, but the insurance I think

They didn't get to be the world's largest insurer for nothing.\nIf you've been ripped off then you should report them to your state's regulator who can investigate, remediate and fine them if necessary.

Could be an honest error, but it could easily be a fraud.  You need to take copies of the two different maps to a lawyer specializing in real estate and ask questions.

Unfortunately they can follow and record you for as long as the claim is open. I've had this happen to several of my legitimate patients (and a few illegitimate as well). If you have an attorney on the claim, you should discuss this with your legal counsel. They may be able to get the insurance company to back off. \n\nIf you don't have legal counsel, I typically tell my patients not to hire an attorney until 1.) the insurance company starts denying everything or 2.) you begin to feel harassed by the insurance company. \n\nGood luck!

Most likely this is an independent broker.  They usually sell insurance on behalf of many companies.  They don't necessarily get paid by you but rather by the insurer with a commission.
