Nuremberg-Fürth Court Sentences Pool Doctor to Six Years for €1.6 Million Billing Fraud, Sexual Misconduct

The ruling follows an audit prompted by complaints to Bavaria’s physicians’ association.

Der Mediziner aus Niederbayern soll 6368 Einsätze bei Patienten erfunden haben.
Unter anderem wegen Abrechnungsbetrugs durch fingierte Hausbesuche ist ein Arzt aus Bayern zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von sechs Jahren verurteilt worden. Das Landgericht Nürnberg sprach ihn zudem des sexuellen Missbrauchs schuldig.

Overview

  • Judges found that Hassan O. fabricated 6,368 house calls over 13 quarters, billing roughly €1.624 million to the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bayern.
  • The court ordered recovery of more than €1.4 million and declined to impose a professional ban.
  • The verdict includes a finding that he sexually touched a patient during a February 2021 house visit.
  • Judge Cornelius Sello cited manipulations such as billing time at a girlfriend’s home as visits, multiple same‑day visits, Friday weekend surcharges, and inflated COVID vaccinator payments, as well as charging the state for renting to 25 asylum seekers.
  • The scheme surfaced after complaints to the regional association, the defendant disputes parts of the case including the sexual offense, and the judgment is not yet legally final.
