Red Flags For Detecting Insurance Fraud. Canadian Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.

Abstract: Insurance fraud is any act to illegally obtain an insurance benefit. This act could consist of an entirely false claim or embellishing a genuine claim. This manual is intended to assist claim handlers with initially identifying suspicious claims. The manual provides a list of indicators or "red flags" for different types of insurance fraud. The topics range from arson, to bodily injury, to vehicle theft indicators. The presence of a red flag does not prove that the claim is false. The red flag simply means there are questions to be answered. Included with the list of indicators are questions to ask the insured when the indicator is present.
