Staff Report (Intern Reporter Chai Rong) The average price of collected drugs has decreased by more than 50%, medical insurance electronic vouchers have been put into use, and the settlement of medical expenses in other places is "handheld"... The Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau introduced yesterday that in the past 10 years, the city's medical security system has been more perfect, and the "Internet + medical insurance service" is efficient and convenient. By the end of the year, the direct settlement of general outpatient expenses across provinces in all designated medical institutions in the city with reception capacity will be fully covered.
Over the past 10 years, the city has simplified the filing process of medical treatment in different places, implemented "online office" and "handheld office", realized the "settlement and reporting of cross-provincial medical expenses in different places" and reduced the burden on insured personnel. In January 2020, the city launched the direct settlement of general outpatient expenses across provinces and places for medical treatment. By the end of September 2022, 2,921 designated medical institutions had achieved direct settlement of general outpatient treatment across provinces, with a total of 924 million yuan for the reduction of funds for the insured. The Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau said that it is expected that by the end of 2022, the direct settlement of general outpatient expenses across provinces will be fully covered by the end of 2022.
At present, the city has formed a multi-level medical security system with basic medical insurance as the main body, medical assistance as the foundation, and the joint development of supplementary medical insurance and commercial health insurance. The city is also the first in the country to realize the medical settlement of global medical insurance electronic vouchers. The medical insurance business can be "uncarded", and the medical insurance operation business of urban and rural residents can be extended to the convenient service centers of towns (streets and regions).
The selection results of the seventh batch of state-organized drug collection are expected to be implemented in this city in November, with 294 national collection of drugs. In recent years, the Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau has also actively promoted the collection of drugs in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Inter-Provincial Alliance. It has organized and carried out the collection of 38 drugs in two batches, with a total of 332 drugs. The average price of drugs has decreased by more than 50%, and the cost of drugs has been reduced by 7.5 billion yuan.
