Between 2020 and 2021, the doctor would have defrauded the health insurance fund with 45,000 euros. But Social Security found out about the doctor and stopped the payments.
An internal control system identified inconsistencies in physician billing. As a result, the police launched an investigation into Pongauer (54), who is now accused of charging patient services in 2020 and 2021 that were not provided at all or not to the extent charged. The Pongauer partially confesses and wants to repay the money. He was reported.
If the health insurer had not noticed the inconsistencies, the damage would have amounted to more than 230,000 euros. Of this, 46,900 euros was paid to the 54-year-old for services not rendered. Thanks to the control system, the remaining amount was left to the attempt.
