The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud is sponsoring a webinar Wednesday that will explore concerns about possible scams involving telemedicine.

The use of audio and video technology to conduct remote exams has exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. And while there are advantages to telemedicine, the coalition said the new service is also a potential source of fraud.

Matthew J. Smith, executive director for the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, will head up a panel that includes Thomas E. Fraysse, managing partner of law firm Knox Ricksen; Carol LaDuke, special investigations litigation manager for Allstate; Barbara Scott, senior consultant for Blue Cross Blue Shield Association; and Steven Walden, SIU director of major case operations for CNA Insurance.

The webinar is from 1-2:15 p.m. Eastern Wednesday.
