Delaware Reissues Bulletin 15: Insurers Reminded of Mandatory Fraud Reporting Duties

DE| The reissued Bulletin No. 15, from the Delaware Department of Insurance, reminds all domestic and foreign insurers of their mandatory duty under 18 Del.C. § 2408 to report suspected insurance fraud to the Department’s Fraud Bureau using either the NAIC Online Fraud Reporting System or the NAIC Model Uniform Suspected Insurance Fraud Reporting Form available on the Department’s website. It explains that the Word fillable form may be downloaded and then either emailed to fraud@delaware.gov or mailed to the Fraud Prevention address in Dover, but not both, and emphasizes that investigators rely on the information provided. The bulletin stresses the importance of including complete and accurate insurer contact information on the form and indicating when a referral is “for informational purposes only” to avoid unnecessary follow‑up, notes that the document is informational and not legal advice, and states it is effective immediately until withdrawn or superseded.
