According to an estimate by health insurer Santésuisse, about 20 million francs would have been stolen with incorrectly billed corona tests. In some cases, tests were billed or billed multiple times without being performed.
This said Santésuisse spokesman Matthias Müller on Tuesday in the previous evening edition of the “Tagesschau” on the German-language Swiss television SRF. The association assumes that one percent of all tests were incorrectly invoiced.
The “Kassensturz” investigation reported on a case of a man from Rapperswil-Jona who was charged with 36 corona tests. Even when the man was abroad.
This is not an isolated case: the Federal Public Service Public Health (BAG) is aware of the fraud. As BAG spokesman Gregor Lüthy said in the Tagesschau, the authority assembled a three-man team in January 2022 to handle the tests that were allegedly loaded incorrectly. (pit/sda)
