Do insurance companies pay a lot of false claims?
<|assistant|>
Yes, insurance companies often pay out for false claims. According to the Association of Retail Payment Systems, it was estimated in 2018 that over 7% of all retail payment transactions, equating to about $29 billion worth, were fraudulent. As such, insurance companies have a number of measures in place to prevent false claims and ensure the accuracy of payments. These measures include data analytics, background checks, security software, automated decision systems, and collaboration with law enforcement. While insurance companies take proactive steps against fraudulent claims, they also provide protection for consumers against false billing, providing a safety net in cases where fraud may occur.
