Police in Shanghai have detained a suspect named Yang for suspected medical insurance fraud involving a private hospital. The facility reportedly lacked proper light-shielding and refrigeration for medication storage. The suspect reportedly used a patient's card to process 26 continuous consultations for three different patients within a single minute. The fraud scheme involved instructing clinic doctors to offer free medical services to elderly patients to obtain their medical insurance cards. Doctors involved reportedly took commissions of 15% to 30% on fraudulent medical fees. Suspects used their own and relatives' insurance cards to issue fake prescriptions for drugs to siphon funds. Authorities state the fraud totaled over 3 million yuan. Police officer Yu Zemin warned that individuals lending medical insurance cards to relatives or friends risk criminal prosecution and being placed on credit blacklists.
