BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Maryland Senate passes bill that requires self-insureds to report fraud

The Maryland state Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would require employers who self-insure to report workers compensation fraud to the Maryland Insurance Administration’s Fraud Division.

S.B. 575, sponsored by Sen. Katherine Klausmeier, D-Baltimore County, passed unanimously and would take effect in October.

The bill requires governmental self-insurance groups and self-insurers to report suspected insurance fraud cases to the state’s fraud division, but the division has no authority to investigate and act on these cases, according to a legislative analysis of the bill.

S.B. 575 advances to the Maryland House.
