Maryland is doing little to address the large number of fraudulent workers’ compensation claims made each year, according to Montgomery County officials.
The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, a state agency that decides worker’s compensation cases, has referred 98 allegations of fraud to the Maryland Insurance Administration from fiscal 2005 to 2008. Some allegations came out of cases heard by the commission, while others were from mostly anonymous tipsters.
