The survey found that recently, some online medical service providers grew slowly, and some even "upgraded" to group operations, which led patients to fall into medical fraud.
Pretending to be a nurse lures patients to spend 10 thousand yuan on unnecessary surgery
Recently, the industrial and commercial department of Changsha City, Hunan Province received a report that a company named "Hunan Nanbo Medical Group" tricked patients into seeking medical treatment.
It is understood that this company has set up a new media advisory group of about 400 people. After the consultant added the patient as a WeChat friend, he tricked the patient into going to the relevant hospitals in Changsha, Hengyang and Yongzhou. The company also links the registration system of interested hospitals to the computer of the company's consultants to guide patients to see a doctor.
The survey found that in order to attract male patients, consultants all use beautiful women as WeChat avatars to tease male patients in chat and attract patients to designated male hospitals. "When chatting, I often use some explicit and embarrassing language to lure me to the men's hospital for treatment." A deceived patient said that "beauty" consultants often asked him to be caring and attentive. "When you get well, we can continue to develop our relationship." Some male patients were deceived after being moved by the counselor's "care".
A person who has worked as a consultant in this company told the reporter, "Most of the hospitals that have business dealings with us are private specialized hospitals, many of which are male hospitals, mainly distributed in Changsha, Hengyang and Yongzhou, Hunan. As long as the patient is brought into the specialized hospital we introduced, it is not afraid that the disease will not be found. Looking at men's subjects ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. "
A patient told reporters, "On the recommendation of a consultant named Liu, I went to a male hospital for a routine prostate examination." The doctor said that I had dermatitis, orchitis, too long foreskin, circumcision, laser wart removal and postoperative anti-inflammation. Let me shoot infrared, once 1000, once 1 10,000. Later, I went to a regular hospital for consultation, only to know that these operations were unnecessary, and it was a waste of money and a living hell. "
"Online medical care is very confusing and deceptive, which not only cheats patients' money, but also harms patients. Some delayed their illness, and some went to see a doctor without illness, allowing patients to receive unnecessary treatment. "A doctor in a 3A hospital in Hunan said.
At present, the person in charge of this company has cancelled the company and disappeared. The industry and commerce department is conducting an in-depth investigation.
Pulling a patient has a high commission, and the medical routine is constantly upgrading.
Recently, many places have investigated and dealt with online medical care cases. On June 27th this year, Honghuagang Public Security Bureau of Zunyi City, Guizhou Province received a report from the masses. Zunyi Eurasia Hospital recruited a large number of social workers, added unspecified people to chat, induced people to go to the hospital for treatment, and defrauded people of money by fictional illness, exaggerated illness and overtreatment during the treatment. At present, Honghuagang Public Security Bureau has summoned the relevant personnel involved in the Eurasian Hospital to the public security organs for investigation.
2065438+September 2007, industrial and commercial law enforcement officers in Fengtai District, Beijing found that an online medical service provider named Beijing Dongfang Qidian Medical Investment Management Co., Ltd. used serial talk to trick cerebral palsy patients into seeing a doctor in a designated hospital with which it cooperated. For each person who successfully brings to the hospital, the employees of the company can get a commission of 1000 yuan.
The investigation found that the network medical service is escalating day by day, showing the characteristics of collectivization and concealment, and forming a complete routine: registering and establishing a company in the industrial and commercial department, recruiting a group of consultants and salesmen in the name of "a medical group" and "a medical consulting company", tricking and guiding patients to designated medical institutions on the Internet and WeChat, and then collecting "headcount fees" from them. Once reported or investigated by law enforcement agencies, these so-called medical groups immediately canceled their companies and ran away.
The person in charge of a private hospital in Hunan told the reporter that many companies now specialize in online consultation. On the surface, they are "answering questions" for patients. In fact, they have recruited a group of medical staff without any professional medical knowledge to "attract customers" and trick patients into seeing a doctor in the affiliated hospital. "Some companies specialize in matchmaking between hospitals and patients, and then charge the hospital a head fee, which is actually selling patients." The person in charge said.
"If the patient spends a lot, the consultant's commission will be high, up to 1,000 yuan for one person." A person familiar with the matter said. "Hunan Yongzhou Oriental andrology hospital is my client. I once introduced patients to their hospital. We accept small heads, and these hospitals are big heads. Some patients spent tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses in this hospital. " Ms. Xiao, a former consultant, said.
According to the survey, some private specialized hospitals, such as andrology, gynecology and brain, are generally linked to online medical care. "Some private specialized hospitals are not strong enough, they can't get the trust of patients, their management is not standardized enough, and they lack core competitiveness. In order to obtain benefits, they often take risks and take advantage of this' side door'. " The person in charge of a private hospital in Chengdu said.
Medical care and affiliated hospitals should be strictly investigated.
"Online medical care usually allows patients to chat privately on WeChat or recruit patients through some social platforms. This method is very hidden, which increases the difficulty of investigation and evidence collection. " Deng Xiaoling, deputy director of the Comprehensive Supervision Department of the Sichuan Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission, said.
An industry insider said, "The industrial and commercial departments manage registration, and the health departments manage hospitals. In fact, there is no effective supervision subject and means for online medical care. " At present, there is no clear law to punish network medical care in China, and it is urgent to introduce relevant laws and regulations so that grassroots can have laws to follow. At the same time, health, public security and other departments also need to strengthen linkage to jointly crack down on online medical care and hospitals with interests related to it.
The relevant person in charge of the Medical Affairs Department of the Hunan Provincial Health Planning Commission believes that with the development of information technology, especially after the rise of "Internet+medical care", some information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false has emerged, which is difficult for people to identify. "We should strengthen supervision and crack down on all aspects of online medical care. It is necessary to seriously hold accountable hospitals that have interests related to medical care and increase their illegal costs. "
Yuan, a lawyer of jinzhou area Law Firm in Hunan Province, suggested that the network medical service destroyed the normal medical order and could be punished according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment. If it constitutes fraud, the criminal responsibility of online medical care shall be investigated.
Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, and others suggested that online information is mixed, and patients should keep a sober and rational attitude when consulting online. In particular, don't trust all kinds of online recommendations easily. If you are sick, you should go to a regular hospital in time.
