Existing law requires every admitted disability insurer or other entity liable for any loss due to health insurance fraud doing business in California to pay an annual special purpose assessment that does not exceed $0.20 per year for each insured under an individual or group insurance policy it issues in this state, in order to fund increased investigation and prosecution of fraudulent disability insurance claims.
