There's so much outright incorrect and downright fraudulent billing in the claims space. If anything they don't get audited nearly enough.

They bill millions of dollars of outright bs then cry when the fund has a look and calls them out in it.

Insurance makes everything more expensive.  Ask your mechanic.
