Group benefits fraud is probably not on your radar in the case of fraud. Fraudulent scams, like pyramid schemes and credit cards such as auto and life insurance fraud, online sales fraud along identity theft appear in headlines and directly impact people, which is why they’re at the forefront of your mind.

It’s More Than a Few Tiny Assertions

Group benefits fraud is more than a few individuals using fashion sunglasses to disguise prescription eyewear. You’ll be amazed at the magnitude and complexity of schemes for fraud and their impact on the group benefits plan. Kickbacks, receipt selling, or identity thefts are all a concern. This increase in criminal activity, the growing expenses, and the need for healthcare means that each fraudulent claim can have a substantial financial impact. Police agencies are worried about this issue; however, they cannot do much and require support from insurance companies, employers, and participants to stop this trend.

What Are the Effects of Fraudulent Claims on You?

People who commit fraud with benefits risk the benefits plan and the health and wellbeing of plan participants in general. Your employer has put money into your group benefits program, paying premiums and offering benefits for the group to ensure that you and your family are healthy and happy. Together with the insurance company, your employer has created an insurance program that provides as much benefit as is possible while ensuring sustainable costs to ensure they continue providing this service shortly. A substantial number of fraudulent claims could prevent your employer from funding the group benefits program. It could leave you without the protection and support you need.

But it’s more than your health insurance. Employers usually create an annual budget that covers the entire compensation package of employees. It includes salaries and health insurance, dental benefits, and retirement savings. Suppose the dental and health benefits increase because fraudulent claims get paid. In that case, the result could be a higher pressure on the resources available to pay for the rest portion of the compensation. Employers might face a difficult decision to make.
