Prior to any insurance fraud investigation, it’s critical to conduct a Preliminary Claimant Investigation (PCI). These comprehensive background checks provide the actionable intelligence required to implement an effective surveillance strategy. Read on to learn more about what a PCI entails.
In many instances, investigative firms send their investigators out into the field cold, with nothing more than a claimant’s name and address. In the digital age, this is a completely inefficient approach. There is a tremendous amount of information available via databases and on the internet that can help investigators pin down the activities and whereabouts of a claimant. In turn, this will help lead to a more fruitful and informed investigation.
Alliance Risk Group’s PCIs include all of the following: Social Security/Address History check, DBA/Assumed Business Filings, Federal Criminal Search, National Criminal Search, Statewide Criminal Search, Countywide Civil Search, Federal Civil Search, Department of Corrections check, Compliance Sanction Search, National Sex Offender Registry, and Bankruptcy Liens & Judgments.
