China to tighten medical insurance fund supervision using traceability codes
China DailyBEIJING -- China's National Healthcare Security Administration announced on Thursday that it will roll out stricter regulation of medical insurance funds through a nationwide implementation of drug traceability codes this year. The initiative aims to combat fraudulent activities such as the resale and substitution of insured medications, as well as the misuse of medical insurance cards and counterfeit prescriptions, the NHSA said in a statement. In November 2024, the NHSA publicly questioned 46 designated medical institutions about duplicate claims associated with these codes, marking the first step toward regulating medical insurance funds through traceability technology. The NHSA urged all medical institutions to adhere strictly to regulations, conduct self-checks, and report any violations to local authorities, the statement said.
