The New York Anti Car Theft and Fraud Association (NYACT), New York’s association founded to provide training for insurance and law enforcement personnel to combat vehicle crime and insurance fraud, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) joined forces to present their half day Joint Medical Fraud Seminar on Thursday, April 13, 2023.
NYACT Board of Directors’ Chair, Nichole Soriano, Regional Director of Travelers Insurance Company, stated, “America is facing a surge in claims and the anti-fraud community needs up-to-date training to handle the increase of fraudulent activity and crime. NYACT and NICB join forces every year for several joint trainings, but this year, due to new trends in the fraudulent claim and auto crime arena, it is more important than ever that we provide law enforcement and our insurance members with skills and tactics to not only solve cases and prosecute criminals but to also hopefully prevent crimes against the American public.”
Training topics focused on trends affecting medical billing, Case Law Developments in PIP, and Litigation Funding and Evolution of Mallela.
This seminar’s goal is to provide current training practices and networking opportunities to state and national law enforcement personnel and insurance industry representatives that focus on fraud investigations.
This annual event was held in person at the Holiday Inn in Plainview, N.Y. Over 175 investigators and insurance personnel registered for the event. The keynote speaker was Suffolk County District Attorney, Honorable Raymond A. Tierney. Other special speakers included Harlan R. Schreiber, Partner of Goldberg, Miller & Rubin, NICB Field Analyst, Brittny Krilov, Charlie Campanelli, Signet Claims Solutions, LLC., and Barry L. Levy, Partner, Rivkin Radler, LLP.
