Chinese Health Authority Exposes Over 60 Cases of Medical Insurance Fund Misuse

BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — The National Healthcare Security Administration of China unveiled more than 60 instances of medical insurance fund misuse on Friday.

These instances were discovered during an unannounced inspection launched in April of this year.

The reported cases span six medical specialties, including cardiovascular medicine, orthopedics, and rehabilitation medicine.

The misuses involved practices such as repeatedly charging fees and utilizing funds to cover expenses for medicines and services not eligible for medical insurance coverage.

In late June, the administration disclosed that the inspection had identified four hospitals in Henan and Liaoning provinces involved in suspected medical insurance fraud activities.
