Direct Group Investigation Services (DGIS) are pleased to announce that budgeted savings for insurers for the period January to August 2009, were well ahead of plan. The savings were achieved across Travel, Property, Protection and Motor claims, with impressive counter fraud performance on work where DGIS was directly instructed by external clients, with activity continuing to grow on the back of this performance.
John Baldock, Head of Investigation Services at Direct Group, commented “This demonstrates the success of the Direct Group’s counter fraud programme across all of our business lines. All claims handlers have contributed by referring suspicious claims activity to their Counter Fraud Champions (CFC) and then onto the DGIS investigation specialists.
DGIS have made significant savings on both large individual cases and many smaller examples.
“The team has successfully demonstrated that irrespective of claim size, substantial savings can be made by applying techniques suitable to the case in question and with appropriate consideration given to cost, thus ensuring that there is a clear benefit in deploying our services.”
“The team are committed to implementing effective investigation solutions on complex and technical claims demonstrated by the above success.” said John Baldock.
