What if, one of the employee gets sick and admitted for their treatment at some B or C category hospital which may be away from his work place and even residence. It would seem very normal to any employer…
The Insurance companies would also happily approve these claims for hospitalization as these patients are usually employees of reputed organizations…
And The Insurance Officials would also process such claims without suspecting any foul play because even if the Insurance Investigator would visit the treating hospital, the hospital staff is ?more then willing to extend their support for quick verification of these cases…
So technically such claims are 100% legitimate on the face of it.
Everything was going on as per routine…
All the problems started when during investigation of one such claims, the Insurance Investigator insisted to meet the person who got admitted and treated at the hospital because as per the claim details the patient got discharged from the hospital a few days back.
After repeated requests, the patient met the investigator with some of his friend or relative.
When the Insurance Investigator tried a bit hard to see the patient alone second time, he got threatening from some local people over the phone….
Such incidences started to increase and common names and faces were noticed by the Insurance Investigators while working on the cases of different Insurance Companies.
Who were these people……
Where was all this money going……
Why the Hospitals were so Co-operative in verification of documents of these cases…???
