Doctor Has Sex With Patient Then Bills Insurance Company for Sessions

WTSP: New details are emerging about the case of a Tampa psychologist accused of having sex with his patient. Dr. Daniel R. Lerom is listed in documents as having a long-standing sexual relationship with his Lakeland patient, listed only as "HK" in a lawsuit filed with Hillsborough County Circuit Court. Each time they two had sex, documents say, the doctor would bill her Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance for their "sessions."

It would be interesting to see if Blue Cross pays her claims for “mental collapse”. There’s usually a clause that says they don’t cover self inflicted injury!

I think that’s called “double-dipping.”
