Insurance fraud rings long-established in New York City are now targeting that city‘s suburbs for their scams, according to the Palos Hills, Ill.-based National Insurance Crime Bureau.
For example, in Long Island‘s Suffolk County, NICB launched an investigation into a series of suspicious auto accident claims, all of which involved drivers from New York City, Robert M. Bryant, NICB‘s president and CEO, said in a statement.
Using new computer technology and sophisticated databases to review the medical bills generated by the Suffolk County accident claimants, the NICB identified numerous New York City-based medical facilities, physicians, therapists, acupuncturists, transport companies and equipment suppliers.
