In 1993, eighteen professional investigators from various
insurance companies in the Puget Sound area came together to address
the growing issue of insurance fraud. That group formed a local
chapter of the International Association of Special Investigation
Units and the chapter was named the PUGET SOUND SPECIAL
INVESTIGATORS ASSOCIATION (PSSI).
Since that time, our
organization has grown to include members from law enforcement, the
National Insurance Crime Bureau, and representatives of the Special
Investigations Unit of the State of Washington Office of Insurance.
We are actively engaged in the fight against insurance fraud and
work to reduce the impact this crime has on our citizens. In
addition, it is our goal to educate the public about the issue of
insurance fraud in all its forms, including identity theft and
medical provider fraud.
We remain available to assist any
person seeking information on our efforts and the issue of insurance
fraud. Please fell free to view the various pages of this website
and do not hesitate to contact any of the listed Association Board
members should you have any questions or concerns regarding this
professional group.TION. We are the State of Washington
Chapter of the International Association of Special Investigation
Units.
Our members include insurance investigators, law
enforcement, National Insurance Crime Bureau, state
regulatory department officers, and representatives of
the Fraud Unit, State of Washington Office of Insurance
Commissioner.
This organization works in concert
with law enforcement to deter auto theft, medical
provider fraud and other types of insurance-related
crimes.
We host an annual training conference to
educate our members and the insurance community about
the issues of insurance fraud. We look forward to
increasing the awareness of insurance fraud and work to
combat its’ effect on the public.
