Milan: fraud against the national health system, two doctors arrested

MILAN - Fake hospitalizations to obtain reimbursements from the National Health Service. It is a scam against the National Health System dating back to the period 2005-2006. A doctor from the San Raffaele Turro clinic in Milan is also in handcuffs on charges of false ideology, while another was placed under house arrest. They marked false hospitalizations on their patients' files to obtain reimbursements from the Lombardy Region and the NHS, the greater the longer the period of the false hospitalization.
