Description

Welcome to the Restoration Domination Podcast Episode 048 With your host, Rico Garcia Jr. In this episode we are joined by Doug Quinn from the American Policyholder Association. The APA is an organization that protects consumers from the lesser prosecuted carrier side fraud usually perpetrated by third parties hired by the carrier.  We discussed some of the more common fraudulent practices coming from carriers like doctoring reports, blanket denials, and more as well as questionable ones like adjuster roulette.  We discussed the importance of ethics and integrity in the APA as well as portals that can be used to check on disciplinary history, report engineers, and more!

Some Takeaways:

1. There are documented and proven instances of Insurer fraud
2. APA has its own Special Investigative Unit to Investigate Fraud 
3. We need to come together, work together to help fight fraud on all sides, and even the playing field to do what is best for the client.
