DMA INVESTIGATIONS CAN HELP REDUCE FECA COMPENSATION BENEFITS
Fraud is an ever-present problem across all lines of insurance. Vigilance and the use of skilled investigators are necessary to reduce payment of fraudulent claims and deter others inclined to criminal gain. With all the advances of technology and the Internet, successful investigation most often results from old-fashioned virtues. The first of these virtues is an experienced investigator with a strong desire to understand the truth. With the right investigator in place all becomes possible.
Proper surveillance can be used to document physical discrepancies from what was/is being alleged. Excellent video showing a claimant engaged in activities inconsistent with their claimed injuries or outside of their claimed reduced scope of activity can remove all credibility.
Activity Checks can help determine the current activity level of the claimant, whether they are home, whether there are indicators of employment elsewhere, or other factors that may shed light on whether they are acting in a manner inconsistent with their alleged disabilities.
All of the above and more, when combined, can result in a just prosecution.
DMA Investigations has been actively contracted to the GSA for many years, and continues to be a valuable, professional source of investigations services in the industry.
OUR SERVICES
ACTIVITY CHECK:
This is often the first service requested. Various database checks are made to confirm the claimant's provided
information and document his current profit or non-profit employment. Physical checks can be made to confirm the
claimant's physical activities. A full captioned report is returned to the requesting authority within 14 days.
The results of these checks may show the case warrants further investigation.
SUB ROSA INVESTIGATION:
This is a full surveillance investigation with video documentation of the physical abilities of the claimant.
Other employment is fully documented. We can present video to medical providers and at any hearings. A full
captioned report is returned to the requesting authority within 14 days, with status reports every 30 days.
We will stay with the case through to final resolution.
BRIEF IN-PERSON CLAIMANT INTERVIEW:
Three attempts are made during normal working hours to find the claimant at his stated home address. If home,
he is interviewed briefly and a report on the claimant's current condition is returned to the requesting authority.
If the claimant is not present, further investigation may be warranted. This service may be useful for claimants
who have been off work for some years.
