Woman Faked Cancer For Insurance Money

December 21st, 10

A Pennsylvania woman is believed to have faked a cancer diagnosis in order to receive thousands in insurance money. The Pennsylvania state attorney general’s office charged the woman on Monday with altering hospital paperwork and filing fraudulent insurance claims. Authorities say 50-year-old Deborah Brown of Canonsburg told her she got treatments that she never got for an illness she never had in order to pocket nearly $100,000 in insurance money.

Officials say Brown submitted the fake documents to AFLAC, a policy she opened in 2003. Between August of 2006 and May of 2008, Brown turned in altered documents to the in order to receive money for cancer treatments for both she and her husband, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Officials say Brown’s husband did have surgery for prostate cancer in 2006, but didn’t receive any care after that.

According to news reports, Brown was diagnosed with lipoma, a non-cancerous fatty tissue, but she altered official hospital paperwork to make it appear that she had been given a diagnosis of liposarcoma which is a form of cancer. She was released on a $25,000 bond and her hearing is scheduled for February 3.
