Home » Insurance Investigations » Travel Insurance Investigations
In dealing with insurance claims involving travel and medical issues, the following investigative approaches are typically employed:
Medical Fraud: When investigating claims for medical treatments received abroad, insurers verify the legitimacy of the treatment and the associated costs. This involves checking the credentials of the healthcare providers, examining medical records, and comparing treatment details with standard medical practices for the condition in question. The goal is to ensure that the treatments and costs claimed are both necessary and consistent with the diagnosed condition.
Lost Property: Verifying claims of lost or stolen items often requires detailed documentation from the claimant, including purchase receipts, photos, and reports to local authorities. Investigators may also check for patterns of similar claims by the insured, assess the circumstances under which the items were lost, and sometimes use tracking methods for recoverable items to confirm the claim’s validity.
Trip Cancellations: For claims related to trip cancellations, investigators verify the reasons given for the cancellation against the policy’s covered reasons. This may involve checking medical documents if cancellation is due to illness, examining employment records if related to job loss, or confirming with third-party entities like airlines or tour operators regarding the circumstances cited by the claimant.
Each type of investigation aims to confirm the accuracy of the claim and protect against fraudulent activities, ensuring that only valid claims are compensated.
