New and overwhelming step of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) after complaints of pressures of well -paters to doctors so as not to prescribe expensive drugs revealed by ABC on Monday. Only 24 hours after his first statement, in the … who announced the beginning of an investigation, the president of the entity, the doctor César A. Rodríguez, He issued a second statement in which he shows two first conclusions after the information provided by the oncologists.
The first is that “sometimes” the companies that intermediate and the insurers “do not authorize treatments included in the guides of international medical societies or approved by the health authorities (European and Spanish) and referring fundamentally to cost-effectivity problems.”
The second conclusion is that “the final decision of the prescription does not always depend on the optional that is treating the patient, but on other actors such as the external oncological advisor and the insurer.”
Both statements corroborate the complaints made by the group of oncologists who have decided to take a step forward and bring to light the situation in which they say they work when well -groomed pens in their prescriptions.
The president of Seom said Monday, after the publication of this exclusive at ABC, that he still had no conclusions about what was happening but that he promised to provide data to the greatest possible speed of the restlessness created both among patients and oncologists.
Total support for doctors
To this commitment he responded to this second statement that also implies a frontal denial of the central argument that Athris well maintains since Sunday, that the doctor always applies and without exception the treatment he considers appropriate. This was reiterated again on Monday in the statement that he sent to the National Securities Commission (CNMV) and in which he denied that his advice task undercover the exercise of pressures to avoid expensive drugs.
The dome of the Oncology Society maintained an urgent teleconference this Monday afternoon to examine the antesions of this case and discuss the content of this second statement, which also includes an important message of tranquility for patients. “We take the opportunity to support the work done by the medical oncologists of our society regardless of the scope of action, whether private or public,” he emphasizes.
“We trust the rigor and professionalism of the activity of our partners based on contrasted quality standards and recognized clinical practice guidelines, among others that ELOM itself elaborates”
And it is that the publication of this case has generated a logical uncertainty in many patients who are being treated by insurers in whom Puroszobas intermediates. Hence the importance of medical society would like to make a closed support for all oncologists, exercise where they exercise.
“We trust the rigor and professionalism of the activity of our partners based on contrasted quality standards and recognized clinical practice guides, among others, which is elaborated by SEOM itself,” he added. “We want to send a message of trust to the patients,” he moved. Doctors want to clearly separate their practice, in which they always try to apply the treatment they consider most suitable for the patient, from the pressures they receive.
As it happened on Monday, the denunciations of the oncologists continued to cause a cataract of reactions. In addition to this second state statement, the Spanish Association against Cancer also wanted to pronounce, and the Spanish group of cancer patients and the ECO Foundation issued.
