Short selling of health certificates and health certificates: Has been happening for a long time, in many localities.

At the regular Government Press Conference in May 2023, the press asked the representative of the Ministry of Public Security to inform about the current progress of investigating and handling cases related to short-selling of sick leave certificates and profiteering from social insurance (SI) in localities.

Responding to the press, Lieutenant General To An Xo, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Security: This incident happened a long time ago and happened in many localities. The police force and other functional units have also taken action but have not been able to completely prevent it.

Also because people's demand for Health Certificates, Health Certificates in general is very high such as: Going to driving school, going to work, applying for a job, or related to insurance. From there, negative things and illegal acts occur.

For example, there are male patients who are certified for female-related diseases, which means providing fake certificates. Or there are people who have lost both arms but are still granted a Driver's License because they have a Health Guarantee Certificate.

During the investigation, we saw such a phenomenon. Or in the phenomenon of escaping crime, there is the obtaining of a Certificate of mental problems. The above phenomena occur a lot in many fields.

Detention of 18 doctors, pharmacists, and medical staff: Investigation continues to expand

The police are investigating. The most recent case is in Dong Nai. According to initial information, Dong Nai Provincial Police have issued an emergency detention order for 18 subjects and will initiate prosecution in the near future.

Especially for the case of employees taking leave to receive social insurance with a Health Certificate in Bien Hoa city.

During the initial search, the police seized over 135,000 Social Insurance Leave Certificates and 400 Health Examination Certificates with false results and no information about the patient.

Initial results determined that there were two masterminds and leaders who colluded with other subjects at medical clinics in Bien Hoa city to write names and forge signatures of patients to create social insurance records.

Although, the workers are not sick and do not go to the doctor. This behavior has caused very serious damage, loss of state budget.

Currently, the Ministry of Public Security has directed Dong Nai Provincial Police to continue to expand the investigation and clarify all criminal acts of the violators for handling in accordance with the law.

In the coming time, the police force will step up inspection of the issuance of driver's licenses and health certificates.

Criminal detention of 18 doctors, pharmacists, and medical staff;

On June 2, Bien Hoa City Police (Dong Nai) announced that, related to the case of insurance fraud at clinics in Bien Hoa City, the Police Department has decided to temporarily detain 18 subjects to investigate and clarify the act of forging seals and documents of agencies and organizations.

According to Bien Hoa City Police, among the 18 detained subjects, there are 5 doctors (of which, 3 doctors are Heads of clinics: Long Binh Tan General Clinic, Tan Long General Clinic and Hien Phuoc General Clinic; 1 doctor is Deputy Head of Tam Duc General Clinic; 1 specialist at My Duc General Clinic). The remaining 13 subjects are pharmacists, medical staff and brokers for falsifying related documents.

Previously, on the morning of May 30, Bien Hoa City Police coordinated with functional units to simultaneously search 8 locations (including 6 private clinics) in the city.

During the search of clinics and related locations, the police discovered and seized more than 130,000 certificates of leave from work entitled to social insurance; more than 400 health examination certificates with fake results and no information about the examinee.

Forging documents to benefit from social insurance

In addition, to serve the investigation, the authorities also seized 100 boxes of documents, more than 40 computer CPUs, mobile phones and documents and exhibits related to medical examination and treatment activities at these clinics.

Through investigation, the authorities determined that the above subjects had forged documents and sold them to workers and employees at companies in the area to settle social insurance and health insurance payments.

The subjects also created records to withdraw health insurance money from workers (in reality, the workers were not sick and did not go to the doctor, but the clinics still received money for medical examination and treatment from the health insurance source).

This has caused a loss of state budget and affected business operations.

According to Dong Nai Province Social Insurance, to limit the situation of clinics issuing fake certificates of leave for social insurance, on May 31, the unit established a team to verify the issuance of certificates in the province to conduct surprise inspections of medical facilities.

The police are continuing to expand the investigation of the case and handle it according to the provisions of law.
