Ok.
My boyfriends mom is having a major back surgury done in February. She had a person donate $10,000 to her for the expenses. She has all the money that has been donated and earned in a medical account, with her friend who is also on the account. She will be out of town for about 2 to 3 weeks, and she decided that it might be useful for her to have a laptop for research and bill paying. She used some of her medical money for this. Her friend called her in hysterics telling her that it was fraud and that she had to send it back or else she would take herself off the medical account and she wouldn’t go with her.
Is buying the computer really fraud? She’s willing to send it back, if she’s going to get in trouble, but not just because her friend says she has to. She has other people to go with her, and that she can put on the account.
Thanks

As I said, She is willing to send the computer back, and she didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to buy the laptop with that money, because it was donated by all family, but she was just wondering if that was just her friend being dumb, or if she was right. She will send the computer back immediately.
Sorry guys!
the donations were made to cover ALL costs, not just medical bills. that’s why she didn’t know it would be fraud

hospital billing regulations

I have bad credit from medical bills. I always wanted a “credit card” come to find out someone opened a target card in my name- and charged a couple hundred dollars and now they are after me to pay them. I am wondering and I know this is wierd, but now I am more screwed….Can i try to negotiate with Target to get the card back? I want the target card, i’ll pay the bill. I think paying the $200 is worth it to have the card to actually use. i dont know how long it has been in collections, but when i moved here to my new place about 6 months ago i started to recieve phone calls and letters. Or is it better to just report it as fraud? what will that do to my credit? They said it wasnt an application that someone filled out. It was an offer on a reciept that i threw out offering the card with just a signature or something-which is odd. thanks in advance!

physician billing fraud

My brother “John Johnson”, and his girlfriend “Sara Smith” had to take their son to the hospital (he fractured his finger). The girlfriend filled out all of the paper work. She put her name as the mother, put her sons name down in all the right spots too.

Then the bill came and the name on the bill is “Sara Johnson” (her first name, his last name). This wasn’t a mistake she made, it’s a mistake the hospital made. So now she figures, she doesn’t have to pay because of the technicality.

any truth to that?
The first question I asked her was “what insurance company do you have?” she said she doesn’t have any insurance!!
