iamkramertheracist asked:

Let’s say a patient dies that has health insurance but another patient needs an expensive operation, otherwise they die, and doesn’t have insurance. Is it common for the doc to use the deceased persons insurance to help out the non-insured person so that they can live? If so, does this happen often, or very little?

Can a qualified individual tell me, is this insurance fraud?

medical billing fraud
JAN asked:

I was hurt on the job and made a report of injury. My regular insurance covered the costs except my co-pays, and I did tell them this was a work related injury. Now the workers compensation insurance company has offered to pay all outstanding medical bills, which would be the co-pays. Would this be legal? I know all medical cost where from my work related injury and they went well over a hundred thousand dollars. This seems like fraud against my regular insurance carrier.
