Hello everyone!

The above link actually has 2018âs top ten workerâs compensation fraud cases. To describe 1 of the 10:
(NY) Doctor Suspended for $4.4 Million in False Billing (3/23/18).
Dr. Todd Sloan Koppel was indicted for first-degree conspiracy and money laundering for submitting over $4.4 million in fraudulent bills for service to ins
urance companies. Koppelâs authorization to treat injured workers was suspended by the New York State Workersâ Compensation Board.
Sub Rosa Investigations are done in secret. The term Sub Rosa comes from the Latin language and means under the rose. More specifically, in the area of private investigative work, it means gathering information on people without them being aware of it. I think that a Sub Rosa Investigation is appropriate using the state compensation. The reason that I think that this is acceptable is because those individuals that are committing fraud need to be caught. The people/companies that are victims of the fraud have the right to these individuals committing the fraud to get caught.
Workers compensation is a no-fault system of insurance that protects workers and employers from some of the losses caused by on-the-job accidents and job-related illnesses. The system aims to help workers return to work as quickly as possible. As an employee and an employer I support this system.
