The medical beauty market in Hong Kong is booming, but it may fall into the trap at any time.
Some members of the public have purchased a course of "wart removal" and completed it on the neck, but the doctor reported that the upper abdomen, chest, etc. have also been "removed" in the doctor's report.
Yuan Haiwen, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party’s Consumer Rights Policy, who assisted the victim, said that if the person presided over the claim for insurance with the "incorrect" document, it may be regarded as "er insurance" or a crime involving the use of false documents. The medical committee complained about the doctor involved.
Yuan Haiwen questioned the doctor's violation of the medical committee's professional rules.

Ms. Y (pseudonym) went to a large medical center in Causeway Bay on September 30 this year to "remove warts" and purchased a course of treatment worth 20,400 yuan. The neck "warts removal" was completed on the same day, but the doctor was claiming the insurance doctor’s report. The main reason for the patient to undergo surgery", write warts on the neck, face, chest and abdomen.
She was worried that it would affect the insurance claim, and asked Yuan Haiwen for help. So far, she has not inquired with the doctor or clinic involved.
Yuan Haiwen quoted Article 26 of the Medical Council’s "Professional Code for Doctors" (Code), "Reports and certificates issued by doctors such as insurance claim forms...the contents must have unquestionable authenticity", criticizing the medical treatment of the doctors involved. The report is falsified, "I can't see how I did it without any doubt. There is a big distance between them, and I haven't done any changes before." I believe that if Ms. Y claims insurance with the relevant report, she may be treated as "Uh Insurance", offends the crime of using false documents.
As for the reason why the doctors reported the failure to perform the treatment, Yuan Haiwen said that the medical group involved used "wart removal" claimable insurance as a solicitation. It is estimated that the doctors may want to increase consumer confidence and make them feel that they can get the money back completely. .
Yuan Haiwen has lodged a complaint with the medical committee.
Ms. Y criticized the group's "wart removal" place as just an ordinary beauty room, not a "hospital-level operating room" at all.

In addition, Miss Y also has two questions.
The first is the suspected issue of a "yin and yang order" by the group involved. After the doctor issues the receipt, the beauty company of the same group also provides non-medical beauty treatments, including "depletion" and so on.
Yuan Haiwen criticized that doctors seek business for the group, "it’s not that the victim really needs to do it." The doctor’s code stipulates that when providing medical services, doctors must act in the patient’s best interests, and the 18 rules of the code also regulate that when doctors and other institutions When there is a financial relationship, it is necessary to ensure that the institution does not violate the code, otherwise the relationship between the two parties should be terminated and the doctors involved should be criticized for sacrificing professional ethics for business interests.
Another question is that Ms. Y noticed that because of the social platform advertisement, Ms. Y noticed that when the group involved emphasized "wart removal", it would be performed in the "hospital-level operating room." In ordinary places with small space, if they are not in compliance with the "Trade Description Regulations", they will meet with the customs tomorrow (2nd).
Ms. Y has an unused treatment course of 13,600 yuan. She said that the treatment course will be valid before the end of September next year, but she has lost confidence in the group and has not yet considered the procedures for applying for a refund.
