Editor's Note: Anthony Natale III is a shareholder in the Workers' Compensation Department at Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin.
Workers' Compensation fraud has reached epidemic proportions within the United States, costing legitimate employers, employees and healthcare providers millions of dollars per year. The landscape of this fraud is ever-changing; no longer is it limited to employees exaggerating workplace injuries or working for cash while collecting workers' compensation benefits. More recent schemes involve employers under-reporting payrolls to receive lower workers' compensation premiums, or incorrectly classifying employees to save insurance costs. Throw in unscrupulous medical providers billing for services they never performed, and it's no wonder that healthcare and medical care costs are so egregious.
