A liberal nurse from Anglet suspected of fraud

The liberal nurse she wanted to rip off the CPAM. This is the question that the Bayonne court will have to ask itself on March 23. That day, the Anglet nurse will have to answer to the courts for facts of fraud. She is suspected of having embezzled a sum of 95,000 euros for her profit between January 2016 and October 2017. In this case, the Primary Health Insurance Fund of the Basque Country became a civil party.

Serious suspicion of fraud

As is often the case in this type of case, it is an internal investigation at the CPAM which revealed inconsistencies in the nurse’s medical practice. The suspicions were then confirmed by the investigations of the National Police. These are quantified indicators that led the justice to take charge of the case and to bring this nurse, who has been practicing for more than 20 years, before the criminal court.

Income three times the average

On average, nurses take care of about 100 patients. Enough to generate a profit of 55,000 euros per year. However, in this case, the number of customers is three times less than the average, but the billing three times higher. What to raise doubts on the part of the direction of the CPAM but also of justice.
