Brothels passing off sex acts as 'therapeutic massages' for health insurance

Health funds uncovered the fraud after investigating a Chinese-language newspaper advertisement offering to provide "young attractive masseuse with a health fund rebate".

A spokeswoman for the Australian Health Insurance Association said she did not know whether criminal charges would be filed.
