Medical insurance system:
In order to ensure that the insured employees enjoy basic medical services and effectively control the excessive growth of medical expenses, the China Municipal Government has strengthened the management of medical services, formulated the basic medical insurance drug list, diagnosis and treatment items and medical service facilities standards, provided qualified medical institutions and pharmacies with basic medical insurance services, and allowed the insured employees to choose independently. In line with the reform of the basic medical insurance system, the state has also promoted the reform of medical institutions and drug production and circulation systems. By establishing the competition mechanism between medical institutions and the market operation mechanism of drug production and circulation, we will strive to achieve the goal of "providing better medical services at lower cost".
In addition to the basic medical insurance, large medical expenses mutual aid system is generally established in all localities to solve the medical expenses above the maximum payment limit of social pooling funds. The state has established a medical subsidy system for civil servants. Conditional enterprises can establish supplementary medical insurance for employees. The state will also gradually establish a social medical assistance system to provide basic medical security for the poor.
The reform of the basic medical insurance system in China has been steadily advanced, and the coverage of basic medical insurance has been continuously expanded. By the end of 20001,97% of cities and towns in China had started the reform of basic medical insurance, and 76.29 million employees had participated in the basic medical insurance.
