If a patient is given a check from the health insurance to pay a doctor but you keep the money what happens?

If you have a plan that pays you directly that is a contract between you and the insurance company. It in no way relieves you of the obligation to pay your provider. You are subject to all the same liabilities as anyone else you owe money to.

Is travel health insurance worth it?
Travel health insurance lets you see any doctor, anywhere you are. Normal health insurance does not allow that and only allows you to see your primary doctor. With travel health insurance, you are protected no matter where you are. So, yes, travel health insurance is worth it. http://www.hthtravelinsurance.com/
What is the difference between health care and health insurance?
Health care is the care provided to you by doctors, clinicians, hospitals, etc. Health insurance is a method of paying for that health care.

The plan member is charged a monthly premium for that plan.
Are you in favor of the President Obama's public health care plan?
Actually, it's a health insurance plan - it doesn't interfere with the doctor-patient relationship. I am in favor of it - it ensures, as much as is practicable, that all US citizens will have health insurance, something that other civilized countries have had for many years now.

Is cashing a health care insurance check and not paying the doctor an act of larceny?
Yes, of course it's theft and larceny. If you are the doctor or hospital and you treated the patient, you expect to get paid. If the patient's insurance company decided that charges were acceptable and released a check and the patients KNOWINGLY cashed it and not paid you (as the doctor) back, would you feel that your patient stole money that is yours to pay for your services? Would you ever work for free? By cashing insurance checks that belong to doctors and hospitals is like asking them to work for free.
