| Fraud Unit |
The Fraud Unit's mission is to detect, prevent and act as
a facilitator regarding consumer/provider insurance fraud in
Ohio. The Fraud Unit is a criminal justice agency. The unit
will investigate complaints of persons suspected of fraudulently
attempting to receive a benefit from an insurance company.
The unit will initiate criminal proceedings by presenting evidence
of the commission of any criminal offense established under
the laws of Ohio relating to insurance to the prosecuting attorney
of any county in which the offense may be prosecuted, or to
federal prosecutors.
The Ohio Revised Code requires every insurer to adopt an anti-fraud program and shall specify in a written plan the procedures it will follow when instances of insurance fraud or suspected insurance fraud are brought to its attention. The insurer is not required to file the plan with the department of insurance. If an insurer, as defined in section 3999.36 of the Ohio Revised Code has a reasonable belief that a person is perpetrating or facilitating an insurance fraud, as established by section 2913.47 of the Ohio Revised Code, or has done so, the insurer shall notify the department of insurance.
