PROPERTY CASUALTY WORKING GROUP
OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, the NJSIA has been
represented by Board Member Tom Cellilli on the Office of the Insurance Fraud
Prosecutor Mini-Summit Work Group. During 2000, there were three groups of
appointees who met regularly to explore ways to assist all entities engaged in
the detection and prevention of insurance fraud. |

The work group also made recommendations regarding
SIU access to DMV information on a more timely basis for information regarding
driving history, title and registration information. The preferred method of
access would be on-line. Finally, the work group raised specific concerns
about the way DOBI's Division of Anti-Fraud Compliance conducted audits of
insurance companies. Specifically, the work group questioned the need for annual audits
for all carriers and the timeliness in which final reports are provided to the
carrier. As we continue our initiative in 2001, NJSIA is soliciting input from it's membership with regard to factors which negatively impact the industry's ability to effectively address insurance fraud issues in New Jersey. Your input is both welcome and necessary if we are to continuing making progress in the fight to detect and eliminate or deter insurance fraud. Should there be issues that should be addresses by either the judicial, legislative or executive branch of our State government we'd like to hear about them. Please forward any recommendations you would like to have the work group consider to:
