Insurance are for-profit enterprises. As such, their first goal is to protect the bottom line—their profitability. If they have shareholders or investors, their goal is to keep the value of the company as high as possible. On top of this, it is estimated that fraud costs insurers billions of dollars a year. Given these realities, it is no shock that insurers may revert to many tactics to deny or rescind a claim made against a policy, even to the level of surveilling a policyholder with a disability claim.
