Doctors-Lab Nexus Behind Major Healthcare Fraud
SOG probe reveals fake prescriptions and diagnostic reports causing losses worth crores
The Special Operations Group (SOG) has uncovered a major fraud in the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme, exposing an alleged nexus between doctors and a laboratory operator that caused financial losses worth crores to the state exchequer.
According to Vishal Bansal, the irregularities surfaced during an investigation into the implementation of the scheme, which is designed to provide free and accessible healthcare services to citizens and government employees.
Officials said the accused allegedly generated fake prescriptions and fabricated diagnostic reports to claim reimbursements from the government, exploiting loopholes in the system.
The SOG is continuing its probe to identify all individuals involved and assess the full extent of the financial damage.
Authorities indicated that strict action will be taken against those found guilty in the case.
