On March 1, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly held a press conference to release the "Guiding Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Handling of Criminal Cases of Medical Insurance Fraud" and the "Typical Cases of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Court" on Punishing the Crime of Medical Insurance Fraud in accordance with the Law.
The "Guiding Opinions" require that the crime of medical insurance fraud be severely punished in accordance with the law, focusing on cracking down on behind-the-scenes organizers and professional insurance fraudsters, etc., clarifying the circumstances of severe punishment and lenient punishment, strengthening the whole chain of punishment for crimes related to medical insurance fraud, increasing the force of property punishment, standardizing the application of fines and punishments, and strictly controlling the application of suspended sentences.
Typical cases show that the main body of medical insurance fraud includes designated medical institutions and their staff, representatives of pharmaceutical companies, insured persons, "drug dealers" who resell medical insurance drugs, and state employees. For example, the defendant Sun Mouyu in case 3 is a "drug dealer" who illegally resells drugs and uses medical insurance fraud to buy drugs, the defendant Gao in case 4 is a medical representative of a pharmaceutical company, the defendant Hu Mouliang in case 5 is an insured, and the defendants Zhao Mouze and Zhao in case 7 are the presidents of designated hospitals.
