Seeing a doctor in a big hospital and being told to buy medicine at a "designated" pharmacy outside the hospital? Reporter's unannounced interview: The doctor will tell you the location, but he will not be allowed to say the name of the store

"I registered for an outpatient number in a big hospital, but the doctor gave me a handwritten list asking me to go to the new special drug service center opposite the hospital to buy medicine, and the price was relatively expensive." "My family was in the hospital for surgery, and the doctor asked me to go to the new special medicine service center opposite the hospital to buy the drugs used in the operation...... The family members of patients who saw patients in a major hospital questioned the hospital's decision to let them go to a "designated" pharmacy to buy medicines, "Aren't these drugs available in hospital pharmacies, and is there a certain interest relationship between the hospital and the pharmacy?"

In the past few days, the New Yellow River reporter has visited six pharmacies, including the New Special Medicine Service Center, Shuyu Civilian Pharmacy, Hongren Pharmacy, Yuanxin Pharmacy, and Kangfutang Pharmacy located near Wenhua West Road in Jinan City.

In this regard, the reporter consulted a number of outpatient doctors as a patient, and one doctor said, "There is no such drug in the pharmacy in the hospital, and it is recommended to go to the pharmacy diagonally opposite the hospital to get the medicine." But when the reporter asked the specific name of the pharmacy, the doctor said, "The hospital won't let you say." Regarding the above phenomenon, the relevant person in charge of the new special drug service center said that "it is inconvenient to be interviewed".

Oppugn:

The patient said that he was in the hospital and that the doctor "designated" the pharmacy outside the hospital to pick up the medicine

Ten days ago, Ms. Wang (pseudonym), a citizen, accompanied her mother to the hospital to see a doctor. "At the end of the consultation, the doctor gave me a handwritten prescription and told me to go to the pharmacy diagonally across the street from the hospital to buy medicine." Ms. Wang, who received the handwritten prescription, wondered why she couldn't pick up the medicine directly at the hospital pharmacy and buy it at the "designated pharmacy" instead.

With questions, Ms. Wang rushed to the pharmacy diagonally across the street from the hospital. "The name of the recommended pharmacy is the New Special Drug Service Center, and the prescription is an anti-inflammatory drug, which costs more than 5,000 yuan in total."

In addition, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, said that in June this year, she accompanied his wife to the hospital to see the gynecology clinic, and the doctor also wrote a handwritten medicine list, "The doctor told us to go to the new special medicine opposite the south gate of the hospital to buy medicine." At the time, I had some doubts. ”

In the past few days, the New Yellow River reporter squatted at the door of the "New Special Medicine Service Center" located on Wenhua West Road and found that there was an endless stream of patients and their families who came to the pharmacy to buy medicines, and most of them had outpatient prescriptions headed to a certain hospital, with the outpatient number, the patient's name, the diagnosis results and the drugs needed, etc., all of which were handwritten, and the signature of the doctor was stamped in the lower left corner.

The reporter randomly asked the above-mentioned people who came to buy medicine, and many people said that "the doctor asked them to come here to buy medicine". Among them, one patient's family said that his family had surgery on the same day, "The doctor asked me to come and buy a medicine that needs to be used in the operation." The doctor did not say the specific name of the pharmacy, but said that it was across the street from the hospital. The family said that the medicine was purchased at their own expense and cost nearly 1,000 yuan.

Survey:

There are at least six pharmacies around the hospital, and the "new special medicine" pharmacies have the most buyers

Walking into the pharmacy listed at the door of the "New Special Drug Service Center", the internal layout is different from that of ordinary pharmacies, and it looks more like a hospital pharmacy, with a consultation desk, a checkout window, and a prescription distribution area. According to the drug purchase process guide posted in the pharmacy, the pharmacy is also known as "Aixin Zall Pharmacy".

After entering the pharmacy, the patient needs to go to the cashier area to pay the bill, and the prescription drugs need to be taken with the prescription, and then enter the medicine distribution area to pick up the medicine, and finally issue an invoice. The reporter noticed that there were six or seven pick-up windows next to the checkout window, and the medicines were displayed on the shelves behind the pick-up window. Almost every checkout window and pick-up window has consumers waiting in line.

On the afternoon of July 31, a woman who had finished buying medicine walked out of the pharmacy with her child, she was an antibiotic anti-inflammatory drug for her child, and she needed to hold a doctor's handwritten prescription to pick up the medicine, and after taking the medicine, the prescription would be taken back by the pharmacy. As for whether she could go to another pharmacy to pick up the medicine, the woman said she did not know, "The doctor told me to come to this pharmacy to get the medicine. According to the name of the drug provided by the woman, the reporter inquired about the hospital's drug distribution list, showing that the retail price of the drug was 240 yuan a box, with a total of six tablets.

Recently, the New Yellow River reporter visited continuously and found that there are six major pharmacies near Wenhua West Road, namely the New Special Medicine Service Center, Shuyu Civilian Pharmacy (two), Hongren Pharmacy, Yuanxin Pharmacy, and Kangfutang Pharmacy.

The reporter observed for many days that there was an endless stream of patients or family members who went to the new special drug service center to buy drugs, and it was roughly estimated that in a period of time, there were about 40 people queuing up in the hall to buy drugs. The reporter found in other pharmacies that the Shuyu Civilian Pharmacy also has a "new special medicine" window, during which the pharmacy has about 10 people who buy medicines. In contrast, the other four pharmacies had fewer people buying medicines. Among them, some drug buyers will also have outpatient prescriptions from a certain hospital.

Investigations:

The doctor will inform the pharmacy of the location and say that "the hospital will not allow you to say the specific name"

The New Yellow River reporter visited one of the drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease, called mannute sodium capsules, as an example. The patient's family members purchased the drug at their own expense at the New Special Drug Service Center at a unit price of 296.1 yuan per box, and other pharmacies around the hospital also had this drug at the same price.

On July 31, the reporter consulted several departments of a hospital as a patient, and the attending doctors gave mixed answers to the question of taking medicine outside the hospital. Some doctors said that the reason why they went to the pharmacy outside the hospital to pick up the medicine was because the pharmacy did not have this medicine. As long as the medicine is available at other pharmacies, you can also go to other pharmacies and buy it. Another doctor replied that there was no such drug in the hospital, and it was recommended to go to the pharmacy diagonally opposite the hospital to get the medicine, but when the reporter asked the specific name of the pharmacy, the doctor said, "The hospital does not let you say."

Subsequently, the reporter contacted the outpatient department of the hospital as a patient to inquire whether the new special drug service center had a relevant relationship with the hospital. The doctor on duty told reporters that the new special drug service center is not a pharmacy under the hospital, but a regular special drug pharmacy in Jinan, which belongs to the "dual-channel" drug pharmacy designated by Jinan medical insurance.

The doctor said that due to the relatively limited size of the hospital's pharmacy and medical insurance policy, it is impossible for all medicines to enter the hospital pharmacy. If the hospital pharmacy does not have it, you can only go to the outside pharmacy to buy it, "However, other small pharmacies do not necessarily have this medicine, and some special drugs can only be purchased from this pharmacy, but you can swipe the medical insurance card, which is the same discount as in the hospital." ”

Behind:

The name of the "new special medicine" pharmacy was changed, and he politely refused to be interviewed by reporters

Residents living nearby told the New Yellow River reporter that the "New Special Medicine" pharmacy on the south side of Wenhua West Road was previously listed as "Aixin Zhuoer Pharmacy", and the resident did not know when the brand would be changed. The reporter's inquiry of Baidu map and other sources showed that the place was indeed Aixin Zhuoer Pharmacy before.

According to the online drug purchase platform of the New Special Drug Service Center, the certification body of the WeChat public account platform of "Aixin Zhuoer New Special Drug Service Center" is displayed as Shandong Aixin Zhuoer Pharmacy Co., Ltd. The reporter inquired about Tianyan and found that Shandong Aixin Zhuoer Pharmacy Co., Ltd. was established on May 3, 2016, and the sole shareholder of the company is Qilu Medical Investment Management Co., Ltd. According to Tianyancha's equity penetration information, Qilu Medical Investment Management Co., Ltd. is 100% controlled by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, with a registered capital of 42.45 million yuan.

Regarding the patient's question, the New Yellow River reporter contacted the New Special Drug Service Center, and the relevant person in charge of the store said that it was "inconvenient to be interviewed".
