Conning Releases 2025 Workers’ Comp Study: Using Data & AI to Fight Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fraud

A new report from Conning, 2025 Workers’ Comp Study: Using Data & AI to Fight Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fraud, provides an in-depth analysis of the evolving landscape of workers’ compensation insurance fraud. The report focuses on how insurers are leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) to proactively identify and combat fraudulent activities that have become increasingly sophisticated.

“Workers’ compensation fraud is a significant issue, with estimates suggesting it costs insurers between $35 to $44 billion annually,” said Jay Sarzen, a Director at Conning. “Emerging fraud-fighting techniques centered on data and analytics can enable insurers to identify fraud in real-time, allowing investigators to act more quickly and accurately. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining stability and driving sustainable growth in the workers’ compensation market.”

Sarzen added, “The integration of AI and advanced data analytics into fraud detection processes is a game-changer for the industry. These tools not only help in identifying fraudulent claims but also in preventing them from occurring in the first place. Insurers that adopt these technologies will be better positioned to protect their bottom line.”
