Florida’s Fight Against Medical Insurance Fraud and its Unintended Victims

It’s estimated that Medicare, Medicaid and private medical insurance fraud costs the trillion healthcare industry in excess of 0 billion dollars per year. In the current economic environment, “controlling rising healthcare costs” and “enforcing fiscal discipline” are two talking points that appear in every politician’s public agenda. Often you’ll hear politicians and the news media employ the word “crisis” to justify a call to action.

There’s no doubt that Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance fraud are significant problems in a state like Florida. However, as is the case whenever any issue becomes topical, the reaction can sometimes be so zealous that the need for agencies to report impressive arrest numbers begins to take priority over the responsible prosecution of the crimes. Doctors and medical personnel who may have only made billing errors or unwittingly associated themselves with unscrupulous employees or patients often find themselves to be the subject of a Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance fraud investigation. A resulting criminal charge could result in the loss of licensing, irreparable damage to one’s professional reputation, the payment of fines and even jail time.

Here are a few examples of the types of activities that agencies like the Florida Department of Insurance Fraud typically investigate, but can often be confused with legitimate medical billing processes:

]]>

Fraudulent Billing – This is when a healthcare provider bills an insurer for a service that the insured patient never received. While this could be the result of an illegal act, it could also have occurred because of a clerical error. Or it could also be the act of a sole perpetrator employed by an innocent third party.

Medical Equipment Billing – This occurs when a healthcare provider bills an insurance company for some equipment that the insured party doesn’t need or never receives. It works in the same way as fraudulent billing, and the risks of a prosecutor mis-targeting an innocent person are similar.

Coding Error – While most coding errors are unintentional, occasionally a person working in the employ of a healthcare provider intentionally changes the code to that of a more expensive service. This is also referred to as upcoding. The insurer then pays a higher amount than is actually due. It’s unlikely that prosecutors will be able to make a case on a single reported incident, but a few reported errors could bring a doctor or healthcare provider under investigation despite their lack of knowledge or intent.

Unbundling/Exploding – These terms refer to the practice of parceling out a series of tests to increase the overall costs to insurers. Naturally, this could be the result of an unethical medical practice, or it could be that the tests were separated by necessity.

The important thing to recognize is that the State of Florida is aggressively prosecuting all types of fraud. The independent watchdog group Coalition Against Insurance Fraud 2007-2008 statistics, Florida ranks in the top four (4) among all states’ fraud divisions and bureaus in key measurements of success:

2nd in the number of arrests
3rd in the number of cases presented for prosecution
4th in the number of referrals

If you are a doctor or medical professional in Florida and you’re being accused of private medical insurance fraud, Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, contact an attorney who specializes in this area of the law. Prosecutorial mistakes happen frequently, and you shouldn’t let one negatively impact your business or your reputation.

5 Tips: Finding a Good Insurance Company

Getting a new home can be exciting. This possession is something that brings hope and a promising life ahead. However, as a homeowner, you must know that this also comes with great responsibility in your part.

As a responsible homeowner, buying an insurance for your home is a thing that you consider as one of your top priorities. But you are also aware what a pain homeowner’s insurance can be with premiums rising an average of 7.4% in the recent years – this is expected to continue in the coming years.

Aside from prices, another issue that homeowners experience today is that some insurers are limiting coverage in ways that have surprised many in the past. Thus, it is necessary that you have enough knowledge about insurance coverages and limitations.

So, what are the things that you can do if you are buying a home insurance. Here are some tips.

]]>

Getting a home disclosure report

If you are planning to buy a new home, be aware of the importance of getting a home disclosure report from your agent or the seller’s agent. This gives you sufficient knowledge about any problems the property has had early on. Problems like water damage and any indication of property structural defect could make it impossible for you to get coverage.

Maintain good credit.

Maintain a good credit as this can help you get the coverage you need at a price you can afford. Many insurers view credit reports as an indicator of future potential losses.

Pick from the top choices

Once you are ready to buy, it is a good idea if you pick an insurance company from the top choices. You can have this by getting a list of insurance companies from Consumer Reports – list of insurers who have gotten high marks from consumers.

Knowing the right time in making claims

As insurance companies track how many you file, it is imperative that you understand when is the right time to make claims. Frequent claim activity, even for the small stuff, can be factors for now-renewal.

Get a CLUE

It is also important that you are able to check your CLUE report as Insurance Companies track claims by address. They use information form “claims history databases” like Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange. Any minor errors can affect your insurability.

So, above are some tips in choosing the most reliable insurer in your area. Hope that could help.

Health Insurance Claim Rejected? What You Should Do Now

When you buy a health insurance plan, you expect it to be there for you when you need it most. In exchange for your monthly premiums and a certain deductible and co-insurance percentage, you are purchasing financial security in the event of a severe health issue. Treatments for major conditions like cancer can cost millions of dollars. In an attempt to maximize their revenues, health insurance companies seek to pay out as little in claims as possible. While detecting health insurance fraud is a laudable goal (and catching medical fraud helps everyone save on individual health insurance premiums), innocent people get caught in the crossfire.

There are several reasons why your health insurance claim may be denied:

The procedure, treatment, or medication is specifically excluded from your health insurance policy.

The health insurer considers the procedure to be an experimental treatment; as a result, they refuse to pay for an unproven treatment.

You visit an out-of-network hospital emergency room or clinic.

There is a clerical error; for example, an incorrect address or diagnostic code.

Far too many people are unaware of their options after a claim denial. Instead, they give up–a decision which costs them tens of thousands of dollars. Health insurance companies, including major providers like United Healthcare, have appeal procedures. Sometimes it will take multiple appeals for you to get your claim covered by your health insurance. Persistence is well worth it! Follow these tips to increase the likelihood of your appeal succeeding:

Make sure to file an appeal before the deadline (usually 30 to 90 days), but don’t rush. Build your case and inquire for information without revealing your intentions; some health insurance companies will take that statement as an appeal in itself, making it far less likely that their decision will be reversed.

Do your homework. If a procedure is considered experimental, find research in reputable medical journals that prove it is safe or effective. It will also help your case if you are able to find proof that other local health insurance companies cover a treatment, or that your insurer covered the same treatment for other patients in the past

Get written documentation from your doctors and medical offices. Your claim is more likely to be approved upon appeal if medical professionals agree that a particular treatment is medically necessary or acknowledge that a billing or coding error occurred. If you filed an out-of-network emergency claim, those doctors (along with your medical records) can prove that there was no in-network treatment provider available.

Keep track of all discussions with your health insurance provider: date, time, and the person you spoke with. Find out exactly who can help with your appeal, and send it to that person directly. This will make the claim process move faster.

If you have a chronic illness, the health insurance claims process can be extremely complex. Advocacy associations–both general and disease-specific–can answer your questions and help you file. Failing that, it may be worth it to hire a medical billing advocate. They specialize in navigating through health insurance bureaucracies, and their hourly or percentage fee may be worth the additional peace of mind.

Contact your state’s insurance department if you have individual health insurance or health insurance through a small- or medium-sized employer (meaning that you are covered directly through a health insurance company). Forty-five states have independent external review boards, which will review your claim if all or your internal appeals have been exhausted.

You may have less recourse if you receive health insurance through a large corporation that self-insures. Since the firm pays medical claims itself, it is not subject to state insurance laws. However, check your plan summary for any external appeal reviews: the majority of companies have them.

Why File Encryption Is Cheap Identity Theft Insurance against Computer Identity Theft

With more identity information collected and conveniently stored in digital form, it has become much easier for savvy thieves to steal large amounts of personal identification information from computers, particularly from vulnerable employee laptops. The stolen information is then used or sold to become part of the huge identity theft problem facing businesses and individuals. As older methods of protecting information on the computer have proved inadequate in deterring sophisticated cyber criminals, security experts have started to recommend file encryption as a cheap and reliable method of protecting vital information.

Passwords Aren’t Enough

Although passwords are a necessary part of computer security, even the best passwords are unable to fully protect the information on a computer. Password hacking has reached the stage where almost all passwords can be broken, given enough time. Likewise, security devices for laptops may protect against easy theft, but aren’t much use against persistent identity thieves. A much more secure way to provide cheap identity theft insurance for computer files is to use file encryption. The best file encryption programs are user friendly and can be run automatically without hindering computer performance. The cost of such programs is far less than the cost of rectifying stolen identification information.

Encryption Solutions

Digital information can be encrypted in several different ways. FDE, or full disk encryption, protects data by encrypting everything on the hard drive that boots the computer. Access to the data is limited to those who can authenticate to the FDE software. Another type of encryption is virtual disk encryption in which a container is created on the disk to hold files and folders. Users cannot access the container at all without successful authentication. A third type of encryption, file or folder encryption, encrypts individual files or folders, and denies access to those without proper authentication. These files have separate encryption keys and can be managed on an individual basis. File encryption is often used when multiple users share a single computer. Cryptographic systems of this type can encrypt even the metadata belonging to the files, which can be important for identity information storage.

All encryption solutions require good management, and businesses must maintain the solutions to their encryption products. As encryption technology changes and inevitable vulnerabilities on older technologies are discovered, older devices containing identity information could be attacked and accessed by enterprising hackers. With knowledgeable management, good encryption solutions have become a crucial part of computer security.

Life Insurance Description

Type of Insurance Position

Are you looking for a new insurance job? If so, then you can land one of several different types of positions. Here are some of the types of jobs that you can choose from:

1. Actuary

Basically, an actuary has two objectives. One is to determine how much an insurance company should charge its clients for insurance. Actuaries also help to determine if issuing a policy to someone would be prudent. However, while actuaries have basic objectives, they achieve those objectives through various types of tasks. That includes setting the policies of businesses, evaluating insurance policies, reviewing insurance applications, and so on. Actuaries should have a strong background in both math and the humanities. Also, they typically must pass a board exam before they can become actuaries.

2. Auditor

The primary objective of an Insurance Auditor is to judge whether claims that insurance companies receive are indeed valid. This involves examining statements that both parties make in the processing of claims. It also involves conversing with experts in the business, to determine the validity of claims that customers make. An Auditor must also determine if items have been damaged or lost, in order to provide monetary compensation whenever it is necessary. It’s important to note that the tasks of Insurance Auditors in different industries can vary quite considerably. While those in the automotive business are the most renowned, several types exist.

3. Claims Examiner

The job of a Claims Examiner is to process applications from those requesting to receive financial compensation from insurance companies. Ultimately, the examiner decides whether a claim should be granted or denied. One of the key tasks of a Claims Examiner is to weed out various types of fraud, including:

Bankruptcy fraud
Consumer fraud
Healthcare fraud
Insurance fraud
Tax fraud
Claims Examiners have a crucial role in insurance companies, as they ultimately can save insurance companies (and their ethical customers) a small fortune.

4. Financial Manager

The responsibilities of a Financial Manager are varied. A person’s ultimate objectives are to protect current investments, and to maximize future income. He or she must oversee and supervise various financial documents that are related to an insurance company. Financial Managers must also supervise an insurance company’s cash flow, by supervising various types of financial documents. That includes income statements and balance sheets. Finally, a Financial Manager in an insurance company should have a comprehensive understanding about various legal issues, such as legal regulations.

5. Insurance Appraiser

This type of insurance position involves ensuring that the holder of an insurance policy receives fair monetary compensation after experiencing some type of loss. An Insurance Appraise accomplishes that goal by calculating: A) an insured item’s value, B) the amount of damage to an item, or both amounts. To achieve these goals, an Insurance Appraiser must have enough knowledge about the appraised item, and how much it would cost to fix or replace it.

These above positions are some of the most common types in the insurance business. Whether you’re looking for your first or tenth insurance job, knowing which ones are available will help you to choose the best one for your career.

Identity Theft protection Insurance

The identity thieves use the credit cards and stack up a lot of debt on the cards thus making the victims endure a severe financial blow.

 

Identity theft can victimize you even if you have always had identity theft protection enabled. To sail through such situations without much damage, one must always opt for identity theft protection insurance. These insurances generally charge you an amount of -0 per annum and can provide you coverage of up to ,000. You can buy such insurances along with homeowner’s insurance policies or simply solo, depending upon your convenience.

 

Apart from the monetary insurance, ID theft insurance can provide you with the peace of mind you otherwise lose while worrying about identity thefts. But such insurances should not give you a false sense of security. You still need to take the necessary measures and precautions while using your credit cards.

 

To ensure ID theft protection, along with the insurance, you must regularly monitor your credit card statements. You must also refrain from making any financial dealings from public computers. Make sure that the computer you use is well protected from any such threats and the software is regularly updated.

 

Identity theft insurance can bring down your loss but it cannot guarantee a complete protection. Such insurances do not cover the restoration of credit rating, nor do they clear up any criminal record. So you can see that you still have to be extra careful and cautious in spite of taking such insurance policies.

 

Identity thefts cause a lot of mental, physical and financial harassment on the victim. To restore things back to normal, a victim has to actually invest a lot of time, energy and of course some amount of money as well. The Id theft insurance can diminish the chances of such occurrences. So the basic idea is to take the insurance and still be careful enough to avoid identity theft from occurring in the first place. After all, prevention is always better than cure.
