149 Busted for Workers' Comp Fraud in 2007

The New York State Insurance Department has released a report giving the details of the 708 arrests in 2007 related to insurance and health-care fraud.  The North Country Gazette reports that while the number is up 17%, officials suspect the increase is due to better detection software, not more criminals.  The Frauds Bureau electronic tracking software became fully operational in 2007 and allows insurers to electronically submit suspected fraud reports to the Bureau.

149 people were arrested for workers' compensation fraud, including 89 who had been fraudulently accepting benefits while secretly working second jobs.

The New York Insurance Department's press release can be accessed here.
