It is a heart hospital in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do.

In June, police seized and searched six hospitals nationwide, including here, and secured patient information.We obtained information that fake patients with multiple

high-value insurance policies are flocking to certain hospitals.

[A person from the victim's non-life insurance company: It was suspicious that the diagnosis fee was specifically concentrated in a specific hospital for the recruitment of certain recruiters related to cerebrovascular diagnosis and cardiovascular diagnosis.]

A police investigation found that insurance planners attracted fake patients to lead the crime.

Police explained that if a patient visits and says he or she has a headache or chest, the doctor writes a false medical certificate.

As many as 31 people turned into brain or cardiovascular disease at the hospital, earning about 3.7 billion won.

The police arrested one insurance planner, one doctor, and two brokers as the main culprits.

The so-called "walk room" owner, who brokers prostitution women at entertainment establishments, also served as brokers.

The broker reportedly mobilized about 10 prostitution women for insurance fraud.

It has also been confirmed that an insurance planner mobilized a family to take out insurance money.

[Park Ho-jeon / Head of Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime Investigation at Jeonbuk National Police Agency: The wife of the arrested insurance agent was diagnosed with not only cerebrovascular disease but also cardiovascular disease and received a total of 350 million won.]

A total of eight doctors and oriental doctors were handed over by the police to the prosecution in this investigation.

However, some are said to deny the allegations.

[Hospital official suspected of insurance fraud: The doctor's opinion is that. "I didn't get any money, I just diagnosed it because I had it."]

The police said they will continue further investigation into such fraud, believing that the social harm such as the increase in insurance premiums is formidable.
