Insurance Claims Adjustor Convicted of Felony Theft in Worker’s
Compensation Conspiracy with Former City Officer

BALTIMORE, MD (June 4, 2007) - Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced today that Natalie L. Mack, 40, a former insurance claims adjustor with CompManagement, Inc., pled guilty in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City to stealing approximately $153,000 in fraudulent workers’ compensation checks from CompManagement, Inc. The Honorable John M. Glynn ordered a pre-sentence investigation and set sentencing for August 15, 2007. The maximum penalty for felony theft is 15 years in prison and a fine of $25,000. Andre Stover, a former Baltimore City police officer, pled guilty to felony theft in January for his part in the conspiracy.

The investigation disclosed that Mack issued over $153,000 in fraudulent disability and medical payment checks to Stover between May, 2003 and April, 2004. Stover had admitted to a conspiracy where he would meet Mack, the CompManagement claims adjustor who handled Stover’s workers’ compensation claim, on a street corner outside her office, accept the fraudulent checks, cash them at a nearby check cashing establishment and return to split the proceeds.

Mack’s conviction follows a joint investigation by the Insurance Fraud Division of the Maryland Insurance Administration and the Office of the Attorney General. This matter was referred for criminal investigation by the Baltimore City Solicitor’s Office.
