What would consider medical fraud? Terminology of?

Question

Have u ever gone to the Dr. when an assnt, had to sign your work note? Your work questions the note, the Dr. says he didn't sign it. And because he says this it is considered medical fraud in the eyes of the employer, and you're terminated! Do you think this is medical fraud? The defination of fraud is to deceive in order to gain. What is your opinion? Thanks

Answer 1

If someone at the Dr's office signed the note in good faith I would not consider it medical fraud at all. Ask your employer to talk directly to the person who signed the note and the problem should be easily cleared up.
