The system shows that the doctor's appointment is full, why can the escort be registered after charging 500 yuan?

Lead

"The doctor's number is full, and it is impossible to register you, why don't you find someone you know to help you hang up?"

The escort said to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin suffers from severe anemia and needs regular blood transfusions, but the hospital appointment quota is full and he can no longer register.

As a result, Wang Xin could only post his condition to the medical group, hoping that someone could provide him with medical information.

Soon, someone contacted Wang Xin, called the "escort service", and could ensure that Wang Xin was hung up to the doctor's number source, as long as he paid a "service fee" of 500 yuan.

So, Wang Xin paid 500 yuan and quickly helped Wang Xin get the number.

However, this also made Wang Xin doubt the legitimacy of the escort service.

So, how does such an "escort" do it?

1. The "service" of the escort doctor.

In the lobby of a hospital, a woman took a middle-aged man's hand on her arm and told him that he was going to twist his wrist and that she would find a good doctor to help him, but the doctor could only give her a place.

When the time was up, the middle-aged man was about to leave, and the woman said to him, "If you really want to see a doctor, I will take you in to see a doctor, and I also have it so that I can see my parents."

The middle-aged man hesitated, but followed the woman into the doctor's office.

The woman quickly closed the door of the doctor's office, and the middle-aged man could only hear the doctor and the woman talking in the consultation room, and the woman came out and handed him a medical card, saying that it was a specialist's number, and that he only needed to pay 500 yuan.

The middle-aged man told the police what had happened, and the police took the woman to the police station and asked her to show her medical report, but the woman shirked the need to get the report and slipped away.

This woman is the escort who has registered her parents as doctors by "selling" her place to someone else.

Escorts are also a new profession that has only emerged in recent years, and their "service" is to accompany patients to see a doctor, register patients, help patients make appointments with doctors, and help patients queue up.

During the medical treatment, the escort will also select the most suitable doctor for treatment according to the patient's condition.

The service of the escort seems to be good, but is it really just for convenience?

In fact, the service of the escort is also charged, and it is not generally cheap, and the lowest one is 300 yuan as a "service fee".

The service of the escort seems to exist for the convenience of patients, but in fact, there are many problems behind it.

2. Is the escort service legal?

What is the essence of escort service?

The essence of the escort service is registration, which is nothing more than the doctor's number and diagnosis card.

The number of doctors is limited, but patients can give their doctor numbers to other people, and there is no problem.

But the second question arises, how does the escort manage to give his doctor's number to others?

The doctors' number sources are all sold by the hospital, and the source of the medical number that the escort helps patients make appointments is not their own, but obtained through transactions.

The escort makes an appointment with the doctor's number and then sells the number to earn the difference, which is the behavior of "scalping".

Escorts make huge profits by reselling doctors' medical numbers, which not only disrupts the medical order, but also may lead to medical disputes.

Moreover, the behavior of the escort is also suspected of violating Article 34 of the Measures for the Settlement of Medical Disputes, and the behavior of "malicious appointment registration" will be punished.

If the medical institution discovers that the patient is taking advantage of the quota of others, it may be the accompanying doctor, and the medical institution will notify the patient to make corrections within a time limit and annotate the medical records.

However, this kind of behavior of escorts still exists, which also shows that the supervision is not strong enough.

How do these escorts resell the doctor's number?

The escort will find a doctor one or two months in advance, and then explain his condition and situation to the doctor clearly, and then he can make an appointment for a number.

After making an appointment, the escort will fill up the number source, and will also take a screenshot of the number source, and then sell the number source in the screenshot.

This behavior of the escort has involved the scope of criminal offenses, and this number source is the result of the doctor's labor, but the escort doctor makes huge profits by reselling the number source.

At the same time, the escort also violated the Price Law.

The "service fee" of hundreds of yuan in the escort service also violates the "Price Law", which is an unreasonable price setting and price gouging behavior.

Escorts will post advertisements in front of the hospital and other places to attract the attention of patients, but this is also a violation.

The actions of these escorts were illegal, but they were not punished.

This also shows that the supervision of the escort profession is insufficient, which also allows criminals to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and use this industry to make huge profits.

3. Supervision of escorts.

The profession of escort has not been regulated and supervised, and the service of escort is only available under the needs of patients.

When the escort doctor provides services to patients, they will provide patients with an "escort card", and patients only need to pay a certain fee to get this "escort card".

It is also a kind of voucher for transactions between patients and chaperones.

However, there are still blurred boundaries in the behavior of escorts, and criminals often use this as an excuse to legitimize their own behavior.

The chaos in the escort service industry has also exposed the lack of supervision in the field of medical services.

The escort made an appointment with other people for his own number, which violated the rules of the hospital, but the hospital did not find out, which shows that the internal mechanism of the hospital is not sound enough.

At the same time, the hospital does not regulate the registration process or the legality of medical services.

Experts also discussed the escort behavior, believing that the emergence of escort service is to provide convenience for patients to seek medical treatment, but this behavior lacks standardization and has blurred boundaries.

The experts also put forward some suggestions to solve the problem, and it is necessary to qualify the escort industry, and at the same time, it is also necessary to explore the insurance reimbursement mechanism.

The development of the escort industry needs to strengthen comprehensive supervision and standardize the escort industry.

Fourth, expert advice.

Experts suggest that the escort industry should be regulated, including the following points:

The first is to issue relevant tips and risk warnings in the outpatient lobby of the hospital or on the official website, reminding the escort service provider and the demander to sign a written contract to protect the rights and interests of both parties.

The second is to clearly stipulate the industry participants, service content, and charging standards, and to identify the qualifications of the escort industry to ensure the quality of services and medical order.

The third is to explore the insurance reimbursement mechanism of the escort industry, and also carry out corresponding insurance for the escort industry to protect the legitimate rights and interests of patients.

The fourth is to strengthen the supervision of the escort industry and standardize the escort industry.

Fifth, the operation process and standardization of the escort industry, and the standardization and professional development of the escort industry.

Sixth, it is recommended that the government and society supervise the escort industry, punish non-standard institutions, and give certain support to the development of the legal escort industry.

V. Conclusion

As an emerging service, escort service will only exist under the needs of patients, but the legitimacy and morality of escort service is also an urgent problem to be solved.

The standardization and professional development of escort services requires the integration of all parties, including the government, hospitals and market entities, to jointly establish industry standards and norms to ensure service quality and medical order.

Escort services also need to guide the society to correct cognition and understanding of medical services through education and publicity.

In addition to strengthening the supervision of the behavior of escorts, we should also pay attention to improving the efficiency of the allocation of medical resources, reduce the difficulty of patient registration, and fundamentally solve the problem of uneven distribution of medical resources.
