A study by MEM estimates that 1 percent of all workers compensation claims are fraudulent. In 1997, for instance, there were 220,000 work comp claims filed in Missouri, totaling $660 million in benefits. If one percent of these were fraudulent, it costs insurance companies, employers and Missourians $6 million a year.
