Question
I joined the supplementary insurance of the health fund (monthly payment) after I became pregnant, so that I could hire a birth supporter (doula) and receive a reimbursement for her that would be higher than what I pay to the fund.
In the end the doula was unable to come with me to the birth, I did not pay her, and I went through a difficult birth without help.
According to Halacha, am I allowed to submit to the health fund a receipt as if a doula was indeed with me and I paid her, in order to receive the reimbursement?
Thank you.
