10-20 percent is still insanely high, considering the amount of cases were taking about here. Even just one percent would be thousands suffering for no better reason than profits.

I think we need to accept that there are some fraudulent claims filed that should be denied. I have no idea what the percentage is or how to determine it, but I would think it is below 10%, probably below 5%.

Man, think about how much better the world would be if insurance companies were automatically audited with greater than 5% denials.

What a fantastic idea. You should run for office.

Better to accept a few fraudulent claims than deny a legitimate one IMO, but then again I’m not CEO material (I care about people)
