Company was charging ten times their value for medicine at the University Hospital of Patras!

Surprise and wonder caused by the recognition and admission on the part of company that supplies to Hospitals in the NHS the radiopharmaceutical (ΥΥΜΜ-1 5mCi) that the…
period 2008-2011 had υπερτιμολογήσει to 2,000 euros each for the University Hospital of Patras “Panagia the help”, while at the same time the rest of the available in many times lower price to 280 euros a piece.
The assumption of error on the part of the supplying company, which seems to be explained by the Health Inspectors, shall be recorded in the conclusions of the findings drawn up by the Inspectors when they were called to investigate the 2015 case.
As stated in the finding, drawn up by 2016 and presents τοηεωροςτ.en, the company ΕΝΟΡΑΣΙΣ A.E that is claimed to be the sole representative of the preparation in our country has acknowledged indirectly that he was wrong υπερτιμολογώντας the four-year period 2007-2011, the specific radiopharmaceutical for the University Hospital of Patras, by taking back the last time, however, the more money you have received from the Hospitals.
The recognition error was made, as reported by the Health Inspectors, only when the company representatives were informed that there is control in the Hospital with regard to the supply of the specific formulation (call for tender, contracts with the hospital, negotiated for pricing, etc.).
The company hastened and sent in March of 2015 at the Hospital of Patras, two credit memos with which he returned 216.000 euros (for 108 pieces that delivered in the hospital from 2008-2011) by reducing retroactively the price of the radiopharmaceutical from 2280 euro each piece in the 280 euro each. Apart from the fact that, intentional or not, over-charge so that has been identified for the specific procurement of the preparation, the Health inspectors found at the Hospital before other unpleasant situations.
When requested by the purchasing office of the Hospital the statements of the tenders, the contracts, and if there was some sort of negotiation with the company for the final billing of the formulation that had been charged to 2.280 euros each, declared on the part of the operators inability to find several items and documents, on the grounds that these are tucked away in a container in the yard of the hospital and it takes time to identify.
For this reason, in their proposals, the Health Inspectors propose to impose disciplinary penalties for non-compliance with the bidding process, the lack of negotiation for the pricing of the radiopharmaceutical, the non-observance of the files, and αναιτιολόγητης charging of the drug in patients, the managers of the Purchasing Department, of the Division for Economic, Administrative, Information technology and Administrative-Economic Service.
Even the Inspectors propose to assign responsibility for negligence and incomplete fulfillment of duty to those who χρημάτισαν governors at the University Hospital of Patras, in the period 2007-2011,while the finding was sent to the judicial authorities of Patras for further investigation.
