“Insurance regulators are on the lookout for fraud every day,” said Jane Cline, NAIC president and West Virginia insurance commissioner. “There is a growing trend with fraud in Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance markets. We look forward to working with the Administration to help provide input into possible policy reforms.”

• Illinois Director of Insurance Michael McRaith, Development of Effective Prevention Policies and Methods for Insurers, Providers and Beneficiaries

Other participants in the Summit include prosecutors, investigators and insurance company executives.

The Summit will be held at the Natcher Conference Center at the National Institutes of Health from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 28.
