Companies typically call patients not returning to work as "fraudulent" when in fact they are misdiagnosed 40%-80% of the time.

The lecture will compare and contrast various fraud detection methods, the cost of methods, and the reliability in court. It will present a questionnaires, developed by Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors, which always has been admitted as evidence in 9 states, in over 30 cases, and takes on 15 minutes to administer over the Internet, and costs only $300.
