Insurance fraud training for carriers, adjusters, agents and investigators

District of Columbia compliance

District of Columbia insurance fraud training

The District of Columbia requires licensed insurers to file an anti-fraud plan with DISB that provides for the orientation of employees on insurance fraud prevention and detection.

The requirement

What D.C. requires

D.C. Official Code 22-3225.09(a)(2) requires each licensed insurer's insurance fraud prevention and detection plan to provide for the orientation of employees on insurance fraud prevention and detection. The plan also covers investigation, fraud investigators, reporting fraud and collecting restitution, and is filed with the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking within six months of a new certificate of authority and again after significant changes.

The statute sets no training hours or frequency. Older DISB guidance (Bulletin 99-FR-001) recommends an ongoing training program with sessions of at least two hours; confirm with DISB whether that guidance is still applied to your plan.

Insurers and HMOs file an annual anti-fraud report on SIU activity by March 31 under 22-3225.12. Reinsurers are exempt.

  • Orientation of employees on fraud prevention and detection
  • Anti-fraud plan filed with DISB and updated after significant changes
  • Annual SIU activity report due March 31
