Overheard some tradies talking on the train the other day...
Guy had his appendix out in a rush, operated on that night etc surgeon discharged him out of hospital whenever after, told him take 4 weeks off, and 4 weeks light duties. Guy said no such thing as light duties at his work so surgeon gave him 8 weeks. Health insurance paid it out lump sum.
4 weeks later he goes to his doctor and says he is fit to work, goes back to work and resumes getting paid, doesn't tell insurance or surgeon.
Is that classified as insurance fraud?
