SIU Training Course
This comprehensive course is adaptable for in-person, accessible through live streaming on the internet, or for groups: on-site delivery at your location. Insurance fraud schemes vary from simple to highly complex, and understanding the investigative process and available resources is crucial. Ensuring efficiency is as vital as effectiveness in performing your job. Our course covers everything from effective documentation management and maintenance to best practices during interviews. Most notably, we provide an extensive set of courses tailored around property & casualty claims with emphasis on contractor and insured fraud as an investigator. The course is structured based on a methodology utilizing the OIG "Best Practices" for healthcare fraud investigations. MTA’s team of retired officers, investigators, uniquely trained in these areas, imparts updated skills to SIU analysts and investigators, enhancing the outcomes of fraud investigations.
The training can be customized to include specific topics or the entire curriculum, ensuring consistency in the operations of the entire SIU team. Investigations may lead to administrative hearings, criminal proceedings, or civil actions. Instructors working with MTA bring extensive experience in these areas, having been involved in numerous cases, investigations and trials. Our differentiators include the incorporation of real-life case examples worked by our instructors, providing practical experience in the training environment. Our professionally trained instructional staff facilitates a comprehensive review of all aspects of your SIU team, from policies to SIU operational procedures.
Whether you are a seasoned investigator or new to the field, this course equips you with the skills necessary to manage a case. SIU teams often comprise investigators with varying levels of experience, and this course promotes a "level set" to ensure consistency across all experience levels.
Investigators play a crucial role in every facet of fraud, waste, and abuse environments, including insurance companies and any context where claims are processed.
The training program not only covers the aforementioned topics but also emphasizes the completion of investigations through administrative or court proceedings. Many investigators excel in conducting investigations but may lack preparation for explaining and presenting their findings to management or prosecuting bodies. Our training program fosters an understanding of evidence collection, documenting case files, recording interviews and external/internal contacts, and navigating the legal process once investigative findings leave the SIU. With over 10+ engaging lectures, practice examples, helpful chapter quizzes, and detailed instruction, this course prepares participants for on-the-job investigations and management.
