English term or phrase: the use of the verb To claim (in this sentence)

He was forced to repay $324,000 which he had fraudulently claimed from medical insurance company Highmark after an anomaly had appeared in the system that suggested he was overcharging for every injection he claimed for.

It is talking about a case of a doctor who was caught involved in fraudulent activities. He was actually trading prescription drugs in exchange of guns. I guess the claim, here, is that he claims drugs expenses from an insurance or from the NHS... Can´t think of a suitable way of saying it in Spanish.

Gracias por la ayuda.
Quim
