Drugs to change the name of the drug fraud in Nanjing, a pharmacy penalized

In the past few days, many citizens have responded that when a drugstore in Jiangning, Nanjing, purchases medicines, it often happens that the name of the medicine does not match the name on the settlement slip. Today, the reporter learned from the Health Insurance Center of Jiangning District that the medical insurance center has decided to stop the pharmacy's qualification for medical insurance and pay a certain fine.

Mr. Zhu, a Nanjing citizen, responded that his wife had a cold so he bought several medicines for colds at the Jiangning Minxin pharmacy. While brushing the Medicare card, he discovered that the names of drugs on the consumer list have changed. “The staff in their pharmacy said that you quickly signed the bill. I said that I would look at all the drugs that I bought for me. He said what you see is that these medicines are the same as the price you buy.”

Although Mr. Zhu repeatedly asked for a change in the name of the drug, the pharmacy sales staff insisted that it was okay and did not change the bill. Mr. Zhu said that once he had taken the drug and wanted to make a complaint, because the list did not show the drugs he had purchased, he had no evidence at all. "I said how these medicines are different from what I have on the list. He said he couldn't fight them. I said that this kind of cold medicine can be used in other pharmacies."

In order to confirm Mr. Zhu’s statement, the reporter came to this pharmacy. When he learned that the reporter had a cold, the sales staff recommended the same drugs that Mr. Zhu bought. In the list of consumption, there was no Chuanbei cough syrup, cold wind tablets, and Zhikebao tablets. Instead, it was a cold masking capsule and intestinal inflammation tablets.

The salesperson explained: “These are all not available, the machine is broken, the price is the same, all are 18 bucks. You do not buy within the scope of the reimbursement. This is the program design, will not deduct more money from the customer's insurance card. If you don't want me, I'll wash you out. It's not that you buy drugs this way. Such a big shop can swipe more than 10,000 yuan a day."

Sales staff said that the reason for changing the name of the drug was mainly due to systemic reasons. These types of drugs cannot be used at any other pharmacy. However, afterwards, the reporter learned from several pharmacies nearby that these kinds of medicines were all brushed out.

After receiving the report, law enforcement officers of the Jiangning District Medical Insurance Center rushed to the scene. The person in charge of the Minxin pharmacy stated that changing the name of the drug is related to the age of the staff: “We are all in their fifties, and we don’t have the pinyin. The young people can transfer the medicine out. We can't tune it out and find the same price. This is how our two old comrades fight."

Law enforcement officials found that some of the drugs prescribed by pharmacies were not in the medical insurance catalog. Among them, Zhikebao tablets belong to self-consumption drugs. In order to attract customers, drugstores replacing non-medicated drugs with Medicare drugs at the same price have clearly violated regulations. Sales staff said that the next step will be strictly in accordance with the requirements of social security.

Ma Ling, director of the Jiangning Medical Insurance Center, said: "The use of medicines for personal medical insurance accounts and co-ordination of funds are all harmful. Medicare card money is actually used to treat people with illnesses, but they are used for other purposes."

At present, the Jiangning District Medical Insurance Center has decided to stop the pharmacy medical insurance qualifications and give a certain fine. At the same time, the pharmacy’s superior department, Minxin Pharmacy Co., Ltd. was investigated.

The person in charge also stated that at present, they have conducted a large-scale investigation of 43 pharmacies that have been designated as medical insurance points in Jiangning District, and have ordered them to sell their non-medicated products for pharmacies and ordered them to unload them.
