Insurance Payouts to Government Property vs Personal Property

Insurance claims management is the process of managing a claim from reception to settlement.

Insurance fraud can be committed by either the buyer or the seller of an insurance policy. The seller may offer policies from non-existent companies, fail to submit premiums, and churn policies to create more commissions. The buyer exaggerate claims, falsify medical history, post-date policies, sell their policy to for cash when they are diagnosed with a terminal disease, or fake their death or kidnapping. We will focus on the buyer insurance fraud in this post.
