On September 28, Mr. Pham Tien Hung - Permanent Vice Chairman of Buon Ma Thuot City People's Committee (Dak Lak province) informed that the unit has directed the board of directors of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School and related individuals to make a report explaining the case of not paying health insurance (but collecting money - PV) for dozens of students.
The City People's Committee will meet next week to consider how to handle the individuals and organizations involved in the incident.
According to Mr. Ta Duc Hau - Deputy Director of Dak Lak Province Social Insurance, after receiving information that the school had not paid to renew the health insurance cards for dozens of students, the unit sent staff directly to the facility to clarify the matter.
Schools that collect health insurance fees from students must deposit the money into the account of Dak Lak Province Social Insurance within 3 days.
Next, the specialized unit will make a list of requests for cards corresponding to the amount paid to issue health insurance cards in accordance with regulations. If this process is delayed, it will affect the rights of students.
"It is not true that Mac Thi Buoi Primary School has not paid health insurance for many months," Mr. Hau affirmed.
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that dozens of students of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School had paid for health insurance cards for the school from the 2023-2024 school year.
However, after many days, the school has not purchased health insurance cards for the students. Regarding this incident, Mr. Pham Dinh Lai - Principal of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School confirmed that the unit is urgently handling the purchase of health insurance cards for the students.
The incident was caused by the school’s secretary and treasurer being late in purchasing health insurance cards for students. When discovered, the school instructed this person to immediately filter out the missing cases to buy cards and refund the money for the months when health insurance was not paid.
For those who have paid for health insurance but were not able to purchase it, and during the time they did not have the card, went to the doctor or were hospitalized and incurred expenses, the clerk and treasurer is responsible for compensating the entire amount.
