Question
I work as a private speech therapist. Clients who come to me receive a receipt and get reimbursement from the fund for the treatment according to the quotas that the funds provide based on the child's age, etc. Sometimes parents ask me to change treatment dates on the receipt so they can get reimbursement. For example, parents who did not utilize the treatments they were entitled to by a certain date want me to write the receipts for dates before this date, even though the treatments actually took place on a different date. The question is, am I allowed to do this from a halachic perspective?
Answer
Hello
It is forbidden to alter the truth and mislead insurance companies.
The answer here is given in a general manner, but sometimes there are additional details. For example, cases where the insurance does not strictly enforce the distribution of treatments within the eligibility period. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a rabbi on specific cases.
