National Health Insurance Administration: Crack down on fraud and insurance fraud such as false diagnosis and treatment, reselling medical insurance drugs, etc

According to the website of the National Health Insurance Administration, on April 17, the National Health Insurance Administration, together with the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Health Commission, issued the "2024 Special Rectification Work Plan for Violations of Laws and Regulations of the Medical Insurance Fund" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") to carry out special rectification of violations of laws and regulations of the medical insurance fund nationwide. The "Plan" proposes to focus on fraud and insurance fraud such as false diagnosis and treatment, false drug purchase, and reselling medical insurance drugs, and severely crack down on them. The National Health Insurance Administration issued a document stating that false hospitalization fraud has always been the focus of supervision, and some medical institutions have defrauded medical insurance funds by fabricating patients and falsifying medical records for profit purposes. In recent years, with the intensification of supervision, the behavior of "fake patients, fake illnesses, and fake bills" has decreased significantly, and it is more manifested as "true and false interweaving", mixing false diagnosis and treatment with real medical needs, and the means are more hidden, but the essence of insurance fraud remains unchanged.

National Health Insurance Administration: The average annual dosage of selected insulin in centralized procurement is about 350 million, with a price reduction of 48%

According to the CCTV news client on April 17, the reporter learned from the National Health Insurance Administration that about 10 million diabetic patients in the mainland use insulin. At the end of 2021, the state organized a special centralized procurement of insulin, with an average price reduction of 48%, and the domestic insulin price basically returned to a reasonable level, and the results of centralized procurement began to be implemented in May 2022. In the past two years, the standardization of medication for diabetic patients has been improved, and the level of medication has been upgraded. The National Health Insurance Administration emphasized that centralized procurement is not the lowest price to win the bid. Squeezing out the inflated drug price and reducing the burden on the masses is an important goal of centralized volume procurement. The bidding mode has been adopted for each batch of centralized procurement, including the special centralized procurement of insulin, and the enterprise has made its own quotation to form a reasonable price in the competition. At the same time, China's market demand is large, and in order to stabilize supply and maintain competitive vitality, centralized procurement is neither the exclusive bid nor the lowest price bid.
