A search warrant dated July 5, 2018, was filed after the American Family Life Assurance Co., suspected claims were fraudulent. The lawsuit claims a former employee filed 23 claims to Aflac for services she never received.
The alleged fraudulent claims were for procedures performed at Landmark Dental between May 6, 2016 and Oct. 8, 2017. Landmark Dental confirmed the 23 claims were fraudulent. For the false claims, Aflac paid out $10,165.
