Investigators at the Crime Suppression Division will be interviewing up to 10,000 patients in a fraud investigation into a clinic in Bangkok. 

 

The Ob Un Community Medical Clinic has eighteen branches in the capital. Their licence has already been rescinded amid allegations that they falsified patient records to defraud Thai social security. 

 

The clinic was treating Thai patients who were members of the "Gold Card" scheme. 

 

It is claimed that fraudulent diagnoses were recorded to defraud the state. 

 

On Friday Pol Col Somkhuan Pheungsap, a deputy at the CSD, confirmed that the National Health Security Office (NHSO) had filed a complaint. 

 

A huge amount of patient records would need to be examined and anywhere between 1,000 and 10,000 people would need to be interviewed, he said saying that the investigation would be long. 

 

The clinic is thought to have defrauded the state of more than 70 million baht since 2009 or longer.
