Producer stripped of license after false claim

An insurance producer has lost her license for submitting a false claim.

The Idaho Department of Insurance revoked the license of Rexburg resident Malorie Warner for filing a claim for a nonexistent medical procedure.

Her license was revoked on April 03 after the department took action on a complaint filed against the producer. She was ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $8,500.

“Submitting false claims is always wrong,” said department director Dean Cameron in an abc report.

“Insurance fraud perpetrated by licensed agents is particularly egregious. We hold them to a high standard and professionalism and honesty. Any misconduct on their part not only harms consumers but also harms the reputation of the industry,” he added.

Warner served as an associate of AFLAC from August 2011 to September 2015. The publication reported that the alleged fabrications took place in 2012 and 2014.

The department said that AFLAC passed on information to them after they detected potential fraud in Warner’s transactions. Investigators retrieved bank deposit records and insurance claim forms to verify the violation.

Warner will not be allowed to reapply for another producer license for five years and until the entire penalty is paid, abc reported.
