What should I do if I don't want to go out and gather, have patients at home, need to travel, and don't have time to go back and forth to the nucleic acid detection point? With the normalization of nucleic acid detection, how to complete the detection conveniently and quickly has become a widely discussed topic. In response to this demand, a large number of group purchase services for home nucleic acids have appeared on the network, and the labels of convenience and quickness, such as no queuing, one-to-one exclusive service, expedited 4-hour report, have been put forward to attract people to order.
However, the price corresponding to the "noble service" is undoubtedly high. At present, nucleic acid testing has become a new demand for people, and door-to-door nucleic acid and one-to-one service have become scarce goods, which has also bred new business opportunities for many testing institutions.
RMB 2000 can realize on-site urgent nucleic acid
Who is providing sky high price testing services?
The reporter found that after searching "door-to-door nucleic acid" on tmall, many stores providing relevant services can appear, and the actual price is more than 1000 yuan.
Taking one of the merchants, Le Jian health service franchise store, as an example, provided a set of charging standards to blue whale financial reporters:
Group order: the door-to-door fee for Shanghai inner ring is 1500, and the door-to-door fee for outer ring is 2000. There are 40 people for single purchase and 20 people for mixed purchase (more than 1100 people for mixed purchase). Try to make an appointment 1-3 days in advance. Report for 24 hours. In case of major screening, there will be a delay.
Individual: 2000 door-to-door fee, 40 inspection fee, no mixed collection.
When asked whether it could be expedited, the other party said that Shanghai did not support expediting at present. Although it is known as the national designated monitoring institution, the merchant failed to provide the specific name of the testing institution.
Subsequently, the reporter contacted another merchant named "ran Yu medical service franchise store", whose monthly sales of nucleic acid door-to-door service exceeded 2000 orders.
The shopkeeper told the reporter that the door-to-door fee was 1000 yuan, 26 yuan for single purchase and 13.5 yuan for mixed purchase. If you need urgent service, you need to place an order for VIP service at the price of 2000 yuan. The store emphasizes that the nurses who provide door-to-door service have nurse certificates, and they will send them to the testing institution after door-to-door collection.
After the reporter questioned, the other party provided the business license of the testing institution, whose name was shown as Shanghai decode medical laboratory Co., Ltd. It also provided a nurse's contact number. The other party said that it was OK to directly contact the nurse without placing an order on the platform. It was OK to pay after the door-to-door inspection was completed.
When asked about the charge, the other party said that the testing agency charged part of the fee, and the door-to-door nurses charged part of the fee.
Later, blue whale financial reporter called the nurse number provided by the merchant. After providing the detailed address, the nurse said that the cost of single person visiting the site for more than 30 kilometers is 2000 yuan, and the cost of each additional person at the same address is 800 yuan. If it needs to be urgent, there can be China kronda or other testing institutions. The specific fees will be paid by the person who comes to the site.
When asked about his identity, the other party did not directly answer, but said that he could notify you if necessary, and anyone who was free could come and help you. Then he hung up for convenience.
According to the information given by the "ran Yu medical service franchise store", the testing institutions that currently provide door-to-door services of 2000 yuan are "Zhongke Runda and Shanghai decode". In order to specifically understand the door-to-door nucleic acid service, the reporter has called these two testing institutions for many times, but no response has been received as of press time.
Meinian dahealth and zhongkerunda deny rumors of sky high nucleic acid
It is worth noting that recently, a poster of nucleic acid door-to-door exclusive service has been widely circulated on the Internet, claiming to provide vvip/vip rapid nucleic acid detection door-to-door exclusive service. 3000 yuan / person will be charged for 2-hour report and 2000 yuan / person will be charged for 4-hour report.
The picture shows that the service was launched by Shanghai meinian health and Shanghai Zhongke Runda medical laboratory.
However, after a while, the officials denied the "sky high price" service. Meinian Health said that it had not launched the service plan to the market. At present, the third-party nucleic acid testing institutions cooperating with Shanghai meinian health are Shanghai decode medical laboratory Co., Ltd., Shanghai golden key medical laboratory Co., Ltd. and Shanghai ADICON medical laboratory Co., Ltd. The corresponding nucleic acid detection prices are: group and single collection door-to-door service fee: 19 yuan / person; Service charge for mixed procurement: 4.5 yuan / person.
Zhongke Runda also issued a statement on the official account that Zhongke Runda medical laboratory has never carried out the above-mentioned commercial cooperation with Shanghai meinian health.
It is worth noting that in May this year, the nucleic acid test results of zhongkerunda frequently showed "false positives", which attracted the attention of the public and regulatory authorities. On May 11, in response to the "false positive" incident, Runda medical released an announcement and responded that the company had asked Zhongke laboratory to start internal self-examination on relevant situations and cooperate with relevant departments to investigate. The company's share price also fell for two consecutive days.
With the recent increase in the demand for nucleic acid detection, more and more citizens began to seek door-to-door nucleic acid services.
In addition to tmall, relevant services can be found on apps such as Dianping, meituan, Luyi (formerly Alibaba Health), but the service fee gap is huge. The cheap one is only 16 yuan, and the expensive one can reach 2500 yuan.
Nucleic acid prices continue to fall
Why are you still willing to spend unjust money?
As early as January this year, problems in services such as door-to-door inspection and urgent fee collection were paid attention to.
According to Xinhua news agency, Beijing, Anhui and other places explicitly called for a halt to this "illegal pricing act" at that time. However, after a period of time, many businesses started the idea of "sky high accounting fees" again.
At the moment of normalization of nucleic acid detection, some people need to take a train or plane, some people feel unwell and can't go out, and some people don't want to go out to gather... It is these "diverse" special circumstances that give businesses the opportunity to provide sky high services.
Experts said that the current pace of society is accelerating, and some things are "calculated by minutes and seconds". Under the condition of normalized epidemic prevention and control, there is still a gap between the duration of nucleic acid detection and the pace of people's lives, leading some institutions to increase money and offer "sky high prices" while taking advantage of the "epidemic".
In fact, since the outbreak, the state has been lowering the price of nucleic acid testing. The national medical security work conference held on January 14 this year pointed out that China has significantly reduced the price of national nucleic acid testing in three rounds, and the price of single person single test and multi person mixed test per person has been reduced to no more than 40 yuan and 10 yuan respectively.
Recently, the office of the national medical insurance bureau and the medical treatment team of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council for novel coronavirus pneumonia issued the notice on further reducing the price of novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection and antigen detection, requiring all regions to reduce the single person single test for novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection to no more than 16 yuan per person and the multi person mixed test to no more than 5 yuan per person before June 10.
The notice also clearly stipulates that "non-public medical institutions, as well as social testing institutions such as medical testing laboratories, shall provide novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing services. The pricing shall follow the principles of 'fairness, legality and good faith', reflect the principle of breakeven and low profit, and the quality and price are consistent. It is not allowed to borrow ill gotten gains from epidemic students, and it is advocated to refer to the prices of neocoronavirus nucleic acid testing in local public medical institutions."
