Insurers fight back as Canada hit with group benefits fraud epidemic
Sun Life | December 20, 2018
Group benefits fraud remains a serious issue in Canada, as recent incidents indicate. Last year, a Toronto firefighter was sentenced to six months in prison for submitting $32,000 in forged receipts for healthcare and other related services. Bradley Evaschuk submitted 23 fraudulent health benefits claims and 300 forged invoices between February 2009 and October 2013, receiving more than $23,000 in claims for expenses that never incurred, or services he never received.
