AB Abatement Inc. of Midland, pled guilty to charges that it misrepresented the numbers of employees and payroll associated with the workers’ compensation policies of Vanco Insulation Inc., a related company.
Vanco Insulation Inc., owned by Robert Crow of Midland, obtained workers’ compensation coverage through Texas Mutual from April 2003 to October 2006.
A Travis County district court ordered AB Abatement to pay $70,000 in restitution to Texas Mutual and a $1,000 fine.
Texas Mutual maintains three teams of in-house fraud investigators. In 2011, they saved, identified or recovered $5.2 million through their claimant, health care provider and employer fraud investigations.
