Medical expenses are expected to be packaged and paid, and migrant workers can be reimbursed immediately for medical treatment across provinces.

In the future, it is hoped that the medical expenses paid at the hospital will not be paid for by the project. Instead, the expense is “packaged”. At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Health yesterday, Yang Qing, Director of the Rural Health Department of the Ministry of Health, said that this year will continue to control the unreasonable increase in medical expenses and use alternatives such as total prepayment to replace project payments.

Medical reimbursement will be realized in different places

There are more than 200 million migrant workers in China and most of them participate in the new rural cooperative medical system. In response to the issue of reimbursement of new peasant cooperatives by migrant workers across provinces, Yang Qing introduced that the migrant workers' cooperative medical administrative organization in charge of exportation negotiated with the relevant departments of the importing region to determine the designated medical institutions for cooperative medical treatment. In this way, migrant workers can be in fixed-point medical institutions when they seek medical treatment. Instant reimbursement. At the same time, the Ministry of Health is working hard to build a new rural cooperative information system. This is a national-level platform, and pilots have now been conducted in one or two provinces. The national level platform and the provincial level platform are interconnected and interoperable. Later, the migrant workers will go to any medical institution that crosses the province for medical treatment. His information can be interconnected and interoperable through the national information platform, which facilitates the reimbursement of the next step.

Pay per project will be replaced

Yang Qing said that now the payment method for collecting drug fees according to the project is easy for patients to feel that they don’t have the heart. The future payment method is based on the clinical path and the treatment cost is packaged according to the actual situation of this place. For example, appendicitis is packaged after 2500 yuan. If the hospital finally gives a price of 3,000 yuan, the excess will be borne by the hospital. In addition, there are unit payments. For example, hospitalizations can be paid every day on a bedside basis to make the patient at a glance.
