First, asthma is included in the scope of medical insurance.
In China, asthma has been included in the scope of basic medical insurance reimbursement. This means that part of the medical expenses incurred by asthma patients in the process of seeking medical treatment can be reimbursed through medical insurance, thus reducing the economic burden of patients.
Second, the medical insurance reimbursement conditions
Although asthma is covered by medical insurance, not all medical expenses related to asthma can be reimbursed. Generally speaking, patients need to meet the following conditions to enjoy medical insurance reimbursement:
1. Patients need medical treatment in designated medical institutions, including public hospitals and some qualified private hospitals.
2. Patients need to hold a valid medical insurance card and register and pay fees in accordance with medical insurance regulations.
3. Reimbursement of medical expenses needs to conform to the provisions of the medical insurance catalogue, that is, the drugs, examinations and treatments used must be in the medical insurance catalogue.
Third, the medical insurance reimbursement process
After seeing a doctor, asthma patients can apply for medical insurance according to the following procedures:
1. When seeking medical treatment, show the medical insurance card to the hospital staff and inform them of the reimbursable expenses.
2. The hospital will calculate the expenses according to the medical insurance regulations, and issue a list of relevant expenses and reimbursement vouchers.
3. Patients can bring reimbursement vouchers back to the local medical insurance institutions for reimbursement, or directly settle accounts in the hospital immediately.
Fourth, increase the proportion and scope of reimbursement.
In order to further improve the medical security level of asthma patients, China is constantly improving the medical insurance policy and increasing the proportion and scope of reimbursement of asthma-related medical expenses. At the same time, the government also encourages medical institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce drug prices through negotiations, thus further reducing the economic burden of patients.
To sum up:
Asthma patients can enjoy the medical insurance reimbursement policy, but they need to meet certain conditions and processes. At the same time, the government and all walks of life are constantly striving to improve the medical security level of asthma patients and provide better medical services for patients.
