Brussels (Eurotoday): Bernard reported fraudulent medical billing after a blood test at AB Maison Médicale, discovering charges for consultations he never had. Concerns about systemic fraud have emerged, involving multiple patients and mismanagement by Mounir Hahati.
Bernard visited the AB Maison Médicale in Anderlecht for a blood test and was surprised to pay ten euros in cash, as other payment options were unavailable. Later, he discovered that his health insurance refunded 110 euros for the analysis. But he was alarmed to find out that 21 consultations credited to six doctors at the same address were billed to his account, despite never visiting them. He has filed a complaint with the CM and the National Institute for Sickness, raising concerns about potential fraud in the system.
Is medical billing fraud a widespread issue at Mounir Hahati’s Center?
Since January 2022, patients only pay a small fee during doctor visits, with insurance covering the rest. A doctor mentioned that it’s easy to commit fraud without patient signatures. Bernard found out that someone he knew also had incorrect physiotherapy bills, suggesting a bigger problem. Meanwhile, Marc’s son discovered his insurance was charged 180 euros for six appointments he never had. Marc reported this to his insurer, highlighting unprofessional practices among the doctors involved, many of whom are not fully qualified. The centers are managed by Mounir Hahati, raising further concerns about their legitimacy.
Mounir Hahati’s medical center in Molenbeek has acknowledged a billing error involving three consultations, which they say have already been refunded to the health insurance fund. The center’s management blamed the mistakes on the training of interns and secretarial staff, claiming patients were incorrectly used in training examples. However, concerns remain as there were actually 39 services billed under different doctors throughout the year. Rebecca, whose name was misused in these bills, is now contacting the Order of Physicians and Riziv to address the issue.

Oh, joy! Just when we thought Brussels was only famed for its chocolates and bureaucratic conundrums, we’re treated to a delightful little saga of fraudulent medical billing courtesy of Mounir Hahati’s clinics. Bernard and Marc, our intrepid heroes, must be thrilled to trade in their croissants for a side of scandal—who needs a quiet life when you can crack open a case that’s more tangled than a bowl of spaghetti? Ah well, at least we can count on the medical professionals to keep our trust in the system as shaky as a wobbly bike on cobblestone streets!

Ah, Brussels—where the waffles are sweet, and the medical billing is, evidently, a bit too creative for comfort. Bernard and Marc’s daring escapade to unveil Mounir Hahati’s clinics is like a Belgian farce, proving that while some may be busy counting calories in their frites, others are racking up dubious invoices with the flair of a carnival barker. Who knew healthcare could be such a cheeky game of “spot the crook” amidst the praline and pretentiousness?

Ah, the classic Belgian waffle of fraud—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Bernard and Marc have bravely taken on the task of unraveling Mounir Hahati’s clinics, proving once again that in Brussels, the real healthcare crisis is not the patients, but rather the questionable arithmetic of the medical bill. Honestly, who knew that treating patients could come with such a hefty side of dodgy accounting?

Ah, the Brussels medical billing scandal—who knew that Mounir Hahati’s clinics were doubling as a masterclass in creative accounting? It’s like finding out your favourite chocolate shop has been selling you overpriced air instead of pralines. Bravo, Bernard and Marc, for bringing this circus to light; now we can all rest easy knowing our health isn’t just a number on a dodgy invoice!

Who knew that dodgy invoices could rival fine Belgian chocolate for sheer complexity? One must wonder if the only thing more inflated than the bills were the egos of those behind them—truly, a scandal that could make even the most stoic eurocrat raise an eyebrow.
