Regarding the Claim of One-Rial Coverage for Medicine
Public Relations of the Social Security Organization clarified:
The Social Security Organization has neither the authority nor the ability to remove or add medications to the list of drugs covered by insurance.
Pharmaceutical subsidies for certain medications are paid by the government and are not related to insurance organizations.
Insurance providers, including with regard to the medicine mentioned in the video—Therapeutic Multivitamin Capsules—act according to the decisions and regulations of relevant governmental bodies.
The numbers 0, 1, and 2, which appear in the Social Security Organization’s pharmaceutical system, are for internal organizational use only and do not represent a literal one-rial coverage. For medications not covered by basic insurance, but instead supported through the Special and Intractable Diseases Fund or the DaruYar (Medicine Assistance Program), the number 1 is displayed.
The display of number 1 for a medication means that the medicine is eligible for a government subsidy or support from a special fund, not that the basic insurance covers only a negligible amount.
