Special agents bust insurance fraud crime ring [The Albany Herald, Ga.]

May 31—ATLANTA — Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King announced Wednesday that agency investigators have busted an insurance fraud crime ring led by a former AFLAC Insurance employee.

In May of 2018, Amber Miles, the 32-year-old ringleader, began submitting multiple claims to AFLAC for various medical treatments at multiple facilities. Between then and April of 2021, Miles filed 52 different claims and submitted 36 forged documents as evidence. Using her knowledge of the company's processes, Miles procured more than $21,000 over the course of three years.
