Why C is correct
Michigan addresses insurance fraud on two tracks. The Insurance Code's fraud provisions (M.C.L. 500.4501 to 500.4511, together with 500.8197) give the director regulatory tools against fraudulent insurance acts, and the Michigan insurance fraud act (M.C.L. 752.1003 and 752.1005) makes insurance fraud a criminal offense. A person who commits insurance fraud therefore faces regulatory consequences through DIFS and potential criminal prosecution.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Insurance fraud implicates state law enforcement and regulatory authority; it is not merely a private matter the insurer can settle on its own.
- B) Any person — including applicants, producers, and insurers — can commit insurance fraud; the law is not limited to insurers.
- D) Michigan's insurance fraud act (M.C.L. 752.1003) is a state criminal statute, so fraud in Michigan insurance transactions is not handled exclusively at the federal level.
Memory hook
Fraud is double trouble in Michigan: Insurance Code sanctions plus criminal prosecution.
