Houston Nurse Ordered to Return Nearly $40K to Texas Mutual

Texas Mutual Insurance Co. reported that a Travis County district court sentenced Raj Dhingra of Houston for workers’ compensation fraud-related charges. Dhingra was sentenced to deferred adjudication and ordered to pay $39,800 in restitution to Texas Mutual.

Dhingra reported a job-related injury while working as a nurse for Kids Home Care of Texas Inc. in Houston. She claimed she was unable to work as a result of the injury and Texas Mutual began paying workers’ compensation benefits to her. Texas Mutual eventually discovered that Dhingra was working for two other companies as a nurse while also receiving income benefits due to her alleged disability.
