Feigning Spell

Mental health fraud is a significant problem in North America. It is potentially easier to commit than any other kind of healthcare scam. Malingering, the feigning of an illness in order to receive compensation or avoid duties, is of particular concern to the insurance community. Malingering is often associated with personal injury claims involving psychiatric or psychological disorders, such as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression.
