A new scam with health insurance. The National Gendarmerie announces on Tuesday to have dismantled a network of criminals composed of four dentists and a public accountant who works in the Yvelines.

The damage to the CPAM is estimated at more than 500,000 euros, while the alleged criminal gain would reach 2.3 million euros. Researchers say they have seized more than 1.4 million euros in criminal assets.

The five defendants were referred to the Versailles prosecutor’s office for scams in organized gangs, false and use of false, abuse of social goods, hidden work, complicity in the illegal exercise in the profession of the dental surgeon and the bleaching of the crime or offense and the complicity of this crime.
They were put under strict judicial supervision with prohibition of exercising their profession and leaving the national territory. They will be judged in March 2026.
According to health insurance, 70% of the 628 million euros in industrial reimbursements in 2024 come from fictional acts and professionals.
