| Industry
experts agree that between 10 and 15% of all insurance claims involve
some type of fraud or abuse. In California the problem of insurance
fraud is so severe that the insurance commissioner has deemed it one
of his top three priorities.
Most states have laws mandating that all insurance companies carriers have
an anti-fraud plan in place. They frequently require formal reporting of
suspected fraudulent cases, and that the carrier maintain a Special
Investigations Unit (SIU).
Capital Claims Services supplements many SIU's. We are also a designated
contract SIU for those carriers/administrators that are not able to staff a
unit full time.
At CAPITAL, we have the expertise,
capabilities, and resources to assure that your company meets the
strict regulatory requirements imposed by "state laws" as it relates
to fraud prevention and investigation.

- Developing
and filing a specifically tailored, integrated fraud plan with

SIU compliance reports with the Fraud Division.
