— Henry Ford
The Coalition’s three pillars of
membership — insurers, consumer groups
and government agencies — align to help
shape this mission.

The last year reflected, well, a world of
partnering.

We teamed with IASIU to mount
grassroots letter-writing campaigns urging
stronger state fraud laws. A public-private
partnership the Coalition co-founded
advanced in uniting fraud fighters against
medical schemes.

Gravity begets worlds greater than their
individual fragments. In like manner,
partnering force-multiplies the Coalition’s
surge against fraud crime. That’s what
makes partnering so ... universal.

Public outreach

Coalition informs tech-savvy consumers using visuals, social media

“Next to doing the right thing, the
most important thing is to let people
know you are doing the right thing.”

— John D. Rockefeller

America is rewiring. Millennials
are coming of age, 83-million strong.
Social media are mainstream sources
of news and opinions. Mobile devices
are becoming a tech-savvy society’s
info-sharing tools of choice.

We’re also a visual nation. Increasingly,
people want fraud message using
rich images and video. Call it cornea
communication.

The Coalition is shaping how people view
fraud by pursuing these outreach goals:

• Be visual. Tell the fraud story with
rich images and video;

• Go social. Launch a constant flow of
anti-fraud messages via Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and other social sites; and

• Think mobile. Make anti-fraud
messages easy for people to view
on smartphones, iPads and other
mobile devices.

Social-media efforts Consumer engagement — how involved

Facebook and nearly doubled on Twitter
over 2014. It was the fourth straight year
of significant Facebook growth.

The Coalition is America’s defining
voice of the fraud fight on social media.
Deterrent news of fraud busts, convictions
and ruined lives flowed out daily on
Facebook and Twitter.

The Coalition’s social sites were
constantly updated staging grounds of
news, mugshots, TV shows and anti-fraud
messages.

Hundreds of posted cases reminded
consumers that insurance fraud is a
dead-end street.

Just as important, we had real-time
conversations with consumers — teachable
moments all.

People asked how to report scams. Some
knuckleheads bragged about their crimes
— a perfect forum for Coalition rebuttal.

Pharaohs of fraud
shamed, blamed

Memo to insurance cheaters: Here’s
an easy shortcut to ruining your life
... try and defraud your insurance
company.

Such is the deterrent message the
Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame signals
to millions of consumers.

The Coalition dishonored the
most-brazen or klutzy convicted
criminals of 2015. People are 20 times
more likely to recall stories than raw
facts or data. Two highlights:

Fiery coffin. Dion and Jennifer
Longworth were incinerated when their
next-door neighbor Mark Leonard
blew up his Indianapolis house for a
$300,000 insurance payout.

His botched arson explosion leveled
much of the neighborhood. At least 80
homes were damaged. Jennifer died
instantly. Onrushing flames trapped
Dion in his basement. Leonard
received life without parole.

Colossal crashes. Mikhail
Zemlyansky ran one of the largest
staged- crash rings in history. His
criminal network lodged at least
$279 million in fake injury claims
from setup car wrecks. Zemlyansky’s
Russian-speaking gang worked the New
York City area. Crooked doctors forged
medical reports. Car passengers were
coached to fake injuries. Zemlyansky
received 15 years in federal prison.

Minnesota and Kentucky faced upsurges

of staged-crash rings setting up operations

in urban areas. Seasoned ringleaders

perceived both states as soft targets for

bogus injury claims.

New Jersey was dogged by instate drivers

“The Coalition was

Recruiters for fraud rings often
showed up at crash scenes or cold-called
often-dazed victims with pitches for shady
medical clinics.

Lawmakers fortified a Kentucky law
forbidding soliciting of victims for 30 days
after the crash. The Coalition was front

support behind the scenes, and testified
in the statehouse. The clampdown on
soliciting crash victims became the law of

The Coalition firmly supported a bill

hotspot bills

Fraud fighters took more decisive
steps as a grassroots lobbying strike
force growing more-skilled in gaining
the attention of state legislators.

The Coalition joined forces with the
International Association of SIUs to
launch letter-writing campaigns. Fraud
fighters successfully urged “yes” votes for
new anti-fraud laws in the hotbed states
of Minnesota, Kentucky and New Jersey.

A salvo of support in New Jersey went
to legislators debating a bill making
evading auto premiums a specific
crime. Fraud fighters weighed in again,
urging Gov. Christie to sign after the
measure cleared the state house. It
was the first time investigators had
petitioned a governor.

IASIU members also urged passage
of three anti-fraud provisions in
Minnesota. More rounds of letters
sought to greatly limit soliciting of
crash victims for potentially false injury
treatment in Kentucky.

At least 120 fraud fighters backed a
similar measure in New York, though
that bill stalled.

Letter-writing campaigns in four
states, new fraud laws in three.

The successes reflected the Coalition’s

growing partnership with IASIU.

Healthy healthcare
partnerships

Joint efforts played out through the
Coalition’s work with a unique partnership.

The Healthcare Fraud Prevention
Partnership pulls together federal agencies
(Medicare, Department of Justice) ... state
fraud fighters ... private health plans ... and
property-casualty insurers to pool data and
share strategy.

Last year was a breakout year. The
HFPP identified a record number of
suspect medical provider and uncovering
new scams. The partnership has saved
more than $250 million in recoveries and
fraudulent claims not paid since it was
formed in 2012.

More than 60 organizations had
signed on as partners by the end of 2015.
To enhance data exchange, Computer
Sciences Corporation was hired to
pool and analyze billions of bits of data
submitted by partners.

“The HFPP identified

Arsonist reveals secrets
Home fires: Convicted cheater shows how to expose arsonists

“If our house be on fire, without
inquiring whether it was fired from

within or without, we must
try to extinguish it.”

—Thomas Jefferson
17

Insurers should better probe home fire
claims before so quickly paying claims that
turn out to be arsons.

So said convicted insurance arsonist
Kenny Allen and the investigator
who helped bust him. Their riveting
presentation was a highlight of the
Coalition’s annual membership meeting
in December.

Kenny Allen convicted insurance arsonist Noted experts from around the
U.S. revealed new trends in exclusive
briefings that help inform the Coalition’s
strategic goals.

Allen led a large arson ring that torched
62 homes and 11 vehicles, mainly in the
Muncie, Ind. area.

His gang stole $3.4 million until he and
44 other ring members pleaded guilty
in 2008. Allen served nearly four years
in prison. Today he has an honest job
delivering FedEx packages. Allen says
he’s gone straight and is trying to show
insurers how to better spot clues of arson
schemes like his.

Allen teamed with former federal arson

investigator Mike Vergon in the Coalition

He discovered his supposed health

William Worthy had sold him fake health

the junk to 17,000 Americans around the
nation. He stole $28 million and lived a
pasha’s life of luxury.

Some victims had acute medical

were left to fend for their lives and health.
They often were saddled with thousands of
dollars in unpaid medical bills.

Another Oklahoma resident, Glenda Hey,

She needed $32,000 worth of hospital

How we fight

Slip-and-fall ring slipped and fell under prosecutor’s skillful

23

Alert homeowners in a Philadelphia
neighborhood spied a disturbing pattern.
Pedestrians kept saying they slipped
on small cracks in sidewalks in front of
people’s homes.

The pedestrians were painfully injured,
they said. They kept making large
injury claims against the neighbors’
homeowner policies.

Something wasn’t right. The
neighbors went to the District Attorney
in Philadelphia. It was the right place
to go. Linda Montag is with the DA’s
insurance-fraud unit.

Montag confronted a major slip-and-fall
ring. It was one of Philadelphia’s largest
insurance rings in recent memory.

A local attorney named Andrew Gaber
ran the fraud operation from his downtown
office. He’d assembled a complex crime
ring that bilked 21 insurance companies
out of at least $400,000 in false
injury claims.

Gaber hired an army of recruiters to
bring him “victims” off the streets. Many
were homeless and drug addicts looking
for spare cash. They would be the fake
slip-and-fall victims.

Gaber’s ring targeted neighborhood
sidewalks that had only minor cracks that
didn’t look too obvious.

The phony victims were coached how to
fall and act injured.
