A dodgy medical insurance press (UK)?
I need an op for something that's not deemed "urgent" (except by me!) and so i'm on a long-winded waiting list.
Will cost around lb3000 privately which i dont really have.
Question is this: I find someone next to medical insurance who's happy for me to slip them some money and i pretend to be them and get it done.
What are the probability of getting away with it?
No answers mentioning jail and fraud etc etc - i know its a bit silly and probably wont nick it any further but right now i dont fancy another 6 months of pain when it can be sorted next to a 30 minute keyhole surgery op!
Assume i find someone with similar looks, medical history etc and that we don't screw up.
What else would be needed?
I've never applied for insurance so enjoy no idea how they know who you are - blood type, eye colour, etc etc
any input welcome.
Answers:
You should be ashamed of yourself, I have purely reported you.
you won't get away near it. they have that persons exceptional medical records so they will know if you are pretending to be them.
pay or skulk.... it's unfair but thats the NHS for you, too many society taking out that aren't paying in.
You might get away near it but the person whose insurance you used would be stuffed because it would count as a claim against them, it would also go on their medical documents and their doctor would be involved
dont think it will work to be honest - could you not take out a loan or try in a foreign country it might be cheaper good luck anyways
Ok, I won't mention the jail/fraud piece. I would consider a few other things though. I don't know much about private health watchfulness but I would imagine that the clinic carrying out the surgery would still have to contact your (the insurance holder) GP for your medical environment. You might run into problems when the docs start quizzing you about your previous health, etc. For instance, it could be difficult if the insurance holder's medical report has one blood group and you have another. You would probably hold a routine blood test before surgery, to confirm your blood group surrounded by case you need a transfusion and to brand sure you aren't anaemic.
I'd also be a bit worried about what happens, surrounded by the worst possible scenario, the op goes wrong or if there be complications, as can happen, and if you became really bad and the insurance holder's next of kin was contacted....
Details of the surgery carried out would also be record on the insurance holder's medcial notes at the GP's surgery. Having the information recorded on the wrong person's transcription is potentially dangerous for both of you if the information is deemed relevant during a adjectives illness.
Not a chance in Hell of getting away near that, too many people involved, Doctors, nurses, insurance company, the Guy you pick, you and the police at a then date
