A letter has surfaced purporting to show that despite claiming he did not know a woman for whom he sought $15,000 in NIB coverage, Gregory Moss was in fact “personally familiar” with the patient.
The opposition FNM hit out at Mr Moss over the letter, which asks a doctor for help in drawing a payment plan for the woman, but sources close to the former NIB chairman insist he “was not wrong” in getting her much-needed medical assistance.
Without confirming or denying the validity of the letter, the sources said Mr Moss was not acquainted with the patient, but did know her daughter.
But in a statement on Facebook last week, Mr Moss claimed he did not know either of the women.
“Concerning the issuance of a letter of guarantee to Doctors Hospital for $15,000, that allegation is true,” he wrote. “But the aspersion connected with it is patently and demonstrably false. The facts are that some months ago, on a Saturday, I received a distraught telephone call from a lady concerning her mother who was scheduled to have heart valve surgery at Doctors Hospital the following Monday morning at 8am. I did not personally know the lady or her mother.”
