“State insurance regulators continue to move forward on a coordinated mission to deal with the issue of broker compensation aggressively,” said Diane Koken, NAIC president and Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner. “The addition of online fraud reporting capabilities to the NAIC’s Website is another step toward our goal of addressing alleged misconduct and violation of existing insurance laws involving insurance companies and insurance brokers.”

The insurance fraud reporting system is available via the NAIC Website or directly at https: / / external-apps.naic.org/fraud/ofrs_entry.jsp. It is accessible from two links on the NAIC home page: under the “New and Noteworthy” section and through the Consumer Information Source.

No personal identifying information is required to submit an allegation of suspected fraud. A consumer wishing to receive verification of the NAIC’s receipt of the report is required to provide a name and e-mail address. Consumers also may choose to provide additional contact information to facilitate additional communication from the state insurance department that investigates this report.

To file a suspected insurance fraud report, consumers are required to indicate the state where the suspected fraud occurred, name of the business or individual, with a complete mailing address. Other optional fields include the phone number and date of birth, as well as date of suspected fraud and amount of loss. The report also includes a text box allowing the consumer to provide additional details of the suspected fraud.

In addition to the online fraud reporting system, the NAIC’s task force - which was formed last fall - developed two more components to address the issue of broker compensation. These components are: development of a model act to create more transparency for insurance consumers through better disclosure of broker compensation arrangements, and coordination of state insurance departments’ efforts to address improper conduct by brokers and insurers through investigation and collection of relevant information.

The demands emanated from a nonprofit company in University City that serves as the nation’s gatekeeper for immigrant nurses - with no competition and little government oversight.

The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools expects to take in $ 15 million this year from more than 56000 nurses worldwide. That’s over three times more than in 1996, when it was granted sole authority to screen foreigners seeking a U.S. visa or nursing license.

But some nurses, nurse recruiters, immigration experts and hospitals say the company has delayed or fumbled the applications of an unknown number of qualified immigrants. They say it functions as a monopoly with forbidding, sometimes inaccessible, customer service.

At the same time, the nonprofit corporation since 1995 has spent $ 1.5 million on lobbying, litigation and legal advice in Washington and abroad to secure and expand its business, according to IRS filings.

The company’s “grip” over nurse credentialing, in one recruiter’s words, is colliding with the labor shortage that has left one in 10 nursing jobs vacant.

With immigrants now accounting for a third of new U.S. nurses each year, some hospitals, recruiters and regulators are demanding alternatives or improvements to the company’s screening process, which can take six months to two years.

Some experts fear that the waiting times may worsen in July, when the company starts screening thousands of Canadian nurses, whose current NAFTA-based exemption will end under a new federal rule.

Big companies _ International Business Machines Corp.. and Home Depot Inc.. _ Also use the site to dispose of inventory.

EBay says it has 31 million active, registered buyers and sellers.

Yet several issues hang over the company. Accounts of online-auction fraud are growing. It recently lost (and plans to appeal) a $ 35 million patent-infringement judgement. And competition on the eBay site itself, as well as from other sites, could lead to problems down the road.

“There are various things lurking in the background,” said David Kathman, an analyst at Morningstar Inc., The mutual-fund research company in Chicago.

A Pennsylvania Financial Services Association official contends prepayment penalties are actually beneficial to consumers because the penalty can be used by consumers as an inducement to win a one-quarter-percent lower interest rate.

“Prohibiting them, we think is a mistake,” said attorney David Ward, a services representative association. “The basic effect of that will be to push some people out of the mortgage market. We see no benefit to that.”

Committee Chairman Peter J. Daley, a Democrat who sold real estate before joining the state Legislature, said Ward’s contention that prepayment penalties benefit consumers does not hold up.

“Saying there’s a value to the borrower … is almost preposterous,” Daley said.

Ward said an expanded licensing requirement would be a huge burden for lenders. He said creation of three licensing categories would force some individuals to apply for all three licenses, and lenders would have to hire new people just to track licensing compliance.
