Insurance Fraud

In 2005, the Missouri General Assembly passed House Bill 866. Section 375.114 RSMo makes it illegal for any person to engage in a fraudulent scheme, make a false statement, or conceal a material fact relating to an insurance transaction. If you choose to do any of those activities – if you commit fraud, you could be fined $100,000 or 10 years in prison OR BOTH.

Do you have what it takes to be a fraud investigator? Can you tell the difference between a lie and an honest mistake? Test your investigating skills with the Insurance Fraud Quiz.
