The "Lazarus" operation of the yellow flames. There are 90 doctors who snatched false prescriptions while 194 received compensation for deceased patients who were dependent on them, including one who remained for 16 years after his death. In the list of clients there were also people born in 1873. In addition to the 1,500 registered with the Lazio Region mutual fund, the identity of another 5,500 in the same situation is still unknown
Medical prescriptions and post mortem prescriptions. About 1500 people who have been dead for years were still registered with the 'mutual' of the Lazio Region and the identity of another 5,500 in the same situation is not yet known. In total, 194 doctors have received compensation for patients who died but were dependent on them. Now they will have to repay the sums unduly received for around 125 thousand euros. The scam was discovered by the Guardia di Finanza of Frosinone at the conclusion of investigations and checks as part of the 'Lazzaro' operation to combat waste in the health sector.
A total of 90 doctors have prescribed drugs after patients died, while 194 received benefits for deceased patients. The person who was cared for the longest after death lived in Fiuggi: a good sixteen years, from 1994 to 2010. In the list of patients there were also (perhaps only due to an error) people who were born in 1873. To better explain the phenomenon, the men of the provincial commander of Frosinone, Colonel Giancostabile Salato, reported this example: "Mrs. Rosa is assisted by her trusted doctor, who receives money from the Region to look after her patient Furthermore, Rosa is occasionally prescribed medicines paid by the health insurance company to cure the aches and pains of age. The lady, however, has been dead for sixteen years". People who, although deceased, therefore, still at the expense of public health for the benefit of doctors.
