Florida Fraud Fighters Urged To Push Senators On AOB Reform

Two bills in the Florida Senate addressing fraud and abuse in assigning insurance benefits — one good one and one not so good — are the focus of an intense lobbying campaign by fraud fighters in the state. Two anti-fraud groups — the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud and the International Association of SIUs — are urging fraud fighters to contact their senators to support SB 62 and kill SB1168, which would do little to curb AOB abuse. “Assignment-of-benefit abuse continues on its costly path in Florida. Now is your time time to support needed reforms. We must control contractors and attorneys who are defrauding homeowners — and insurers,” the Coalition said in a statement.
