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 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 women in entertainment establishments, also served as brokers.

The broker reportedly mobilized about 10 women for insurance fraud.

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

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.
