Recently, the National Health Insurance Bureau, together with relevant departments, guided relevant provinces to conduct special investigations on the false high pricing of drugs and the funds obtained by the three enterprises. It is found that from 2017 to may 2021, in order to avoid the policy and supervision of the "two ticket system", three drug manufacturers including Tianxin pharmaceutical colluded with more than 50 drug agents in the downstream to cash in 87 kinds of drugs such as cefathiamidine for injection by purchasing raw materials at false high prices, and transferred funds to the downstream drug agents. The amount involved is huge, some of which is used to bribe medical personnel or specific related persons to carry out illegal drug promotion. The means by which these pharmaceutical enterprises falsely raised drug prices were carefully designed. First of all, drug manufacturers and drug agents sign cooperation agreements to increase the designated "dealers" in the purchase of raw materials. The "dealers" purchase raw materials at the normal price, and then sell them to drug manufacturers after the price is increased several times to ten times. Then, in the name of "price rise and high production cost of API", the drug manufacturing enterprises further transmit the false high price of API to the price of ex factory and bidding. That is to say, after a so-called intermediate "dealer" of API, the price of API purchased by pharmaceutical enterprises was "reasonably" pushed up. Since then, pharmaceutical enterprises have set the ex factory price of drugs very high. Outsiders use invoices and financial statements to calculate the cost, so it is difficult to find the hidden trouble. At present, three enterprises including Tianxin pharmaceutical have rectified the prices of 87 drugs involved in the case according to the requirements, excluding the false high part of the current price used for bribery, with an average decrease of more than 50%, and some products have been stopped from purchasing. Raising the price of API is a highly deceptive alternative. In the past, in the circulation of drugs, dealers at all levels increased prices at various levels. It was common to issue seven or eight invoices and increase prices seven or eight times. After the "two vote system" is implemented, the middle fare increase cannot be operated. This is because the "two invoice system" stipulates that once the drugs leave the factory, and once again when the drugs are sold to the hospital, only two invoices can be issued. In this way, the intermediate price increase and other operations cannot be carried out. Not only is the drug price at a low level, but also there is no funds for commercial bribery. In this link, it is expected to see effective results in controlling the false high drug price. However, the problem is that if the price of raw materials is increased before the drugs leave the factory, it may bypass the supervision of the "two vote system" and raise a large amount of funds for drug commercial bribery. Since the price of API is increased several times to ten times, it is not surprising that the ex factory price is doubled and pushed up. This huge hole makes the "two ticket system" discounted in some places. It is worth being vigilant that in the past two years, there have been many similar flexible means. For example, the price of drugs collected by the state is very low, which is good for the people. However, medical institutions have no "profit", and some medical institutions only purchase non selected drugs or substitute drugs. Another example is the cancellation of the drug mark up, which makes some drugs in the medical insurance catalogue disappear, forcing patients to only use the corresponding drugs at their own expense. Another example is that "medical representatives" have been hard to find in hospitals, and few people dare to issue drug rebates to the unified side, but a few doctors induce patients to buy drugs at designated pharmacies... These practices have been sporadic, and some alternative methods, such as only buying non centralized drugs, have almost become a common phenomenon in some places. These cases
