Hospital in inflated fee scandal to be probed
SHANGHAI East Hospital is under investigation for deliberately overcharging patients, authorities said yesterday.
The scandal came to light when the presenter of a show on Shanghai Radio read out a letter from a member of the public who complained of being overcharged by the city-level public hospital in the Pudong New Area.
The person said he was charged a registration fee of 18 yuan (US$2.80) instead of 13 yuan, as directed under local regulations.
A health and family planning commission official said an inquiry was launched immediately after hearing the allegation.
“According to our preliminary investigation, the hospital overcharged on several items,” said its Vice Secretary Fan Jincheng.
The hospital later issued an apology and offered to refund anyone who had been overcharged.
