Learner Outcomes: 

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to recognize the element of fraud, misrepresentation, concealment, false swearing and arson and how these elements relate to claims; and identify and understand fraudulent claims and begin to take the steps necessary to deal with them.

Instruction: 

Major topics are: identifying fraud; concealment; misrepresentation. In addition to AEI produced textbook, students receive actual court decisions, which relate to the subject matter and present real-life court opinions that illustrate how courts have ruled in the past and are likely to rule in the future on important issues in claims. A proctored examination is administered for both levels of the credit recommendation. Scenario and case study-based questions, built around actual claims situations, challenge students to analyze and solve problems using applicable principles of claims law that parallel their own claim files. To broaden students' knowledge of the subject, graded exams are returned with helpful comments that provide a written explanation of why each answer is correct or incorrect. For the graduate level credit recommendation, students also prepare and submit an appropriate graduate level research project on a pre-approved topic or issue, in accordance with AEI's specific guidelines.

NOTE: Courses 510 and 512 constitute 2 semester hours in Insurance Fraud. NOTE: Courses 510, 512, 515 or 516 constitute 3 semester hours in Insurance Fraud.
