Controlling Fraud in Small Business Health Benefits Programs in the United States, 1990-1996
The focus of this project was insider fraud -- crimes
committed by the owners and operators of insurance companies that were
established for the purposes of defrauding businesses and
employees. The quantitative data for this collection were taken from a
database maintained by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC), an organization that represents state insurance
departments collectively and acts as a clearinghouse for information
obtained from individual departments. Created in 1988, the Regulatory
Information Retrieval System (RIRS) database contains information on
actions taken by state insurance departments against individuals and
firms, including cease and desist orders, license revocations, fines,
and penalties imposed. Data available for this project include a total
of 123 actions taken against firms labeled as Multiple Employer
Welfare Arrangements or Multiple Employer Trusts (MEWA/MET) in the
RIRS database. Variables available in this data collection include the
date action was taken, state where action was taken, dollar amount of
the penalty imposed in the action, and disposition for action taken.
