Division of Insurance Fraud

Welcome to the Division of Insurance Fraud

Anti-Fraud Compliance Requirements

In July 1996, Florida law required that all licensed insurers establish a special investigative unit and/or file an anti-fraud plan to the Division of Insurance Fraud. Effective October, 1999, all Health Maintenance Organizations were required to establish a special investigative unit and/or file an anti-fraud plan to the Division. Effective October 5, 2006, Rule 69D-2 was promulgated to incorporate and expand the compliance requirements of sections 626.9891 and 641.3915, Florida Statutes. Additionally, effective July 1, 2000, Florida law required all licensed viatical provider companies to file an anti-fraud plan to the Division of Insurance Fraud. Effective August, 2004, section 626.9891 (6), Florida Statute was modified to include a Workers’ Compensation Anti-fraud Report filing. The information below includes the applicable statutes for compliance and DFS Informational Bulletin & Memorandums establishing compliance guidelines for licensees.
