Elisa works with cases from a variety of insurance companies, third party administrators and law firms where there are suspected instances of worker’s compensation fraud. These cases include information on fraudulent claims for benefits in the form of audits, medical records, depositions, medical bills and insurance filings and are very labor-intensive and time consuming. 
    A single case can go on for months or even years as the inspector waits for requested forms, depositions and other information. Elisa must lean heavily on her investigative and organizing skills to ensure this information is properly sifted through. After conducting these lengthy investigations, Elisa and her fellow inspectors pursue criminal charges on the claimants. 

    The unit recently expanded and launched a website for worker’s compensation tips from the public with new tips coming in daily. One of their goals is to ensure public awareness of the problem of workers’ compensation fraud.
