北京：核酸检测不得收取加急费

Beijing: No Expedited Fee for Nucleic Acid Testing

今天，北京市召开第268场新冠肺炎疫情防控工作新闻发布会。

Today, Beijing held the 268th press conference on the COVID-19 prevention and control effort.

发布会上，北京市医疗保障局新闻发言人杜鑫介绍，针对近日有媒体报道本市部分社会检测机构在开展新冠病毒核酸检测时收取加急费的问题。经市医保局、市卫生健康委、市市场监管局、市发展改革委、市财政局等部门共同研究，对全市核酸检测机构收费行为进行进一步规范。全市各类检测机构在开展核酸检测时，应按照新型冠状病毒核酸检测项目统一定价收费，价格为单检每次不高于35元，混合检测每样本不高于8元，不得收取加急费。各有关检测机构，应当主动在显著位置公示新型冠状病毒核酸检测及混合检测价格，严格按照规定向群众提供服务并收取费用，规范自身收费行为。

At the press conference, Du Xin, spokesman of the Beijing Healthcare Security Administration, responded to recent media reports of the expedited fee charged by some social testing agencies in the city when carrying out COVID-19 nucleic acid testing. Through the joint research by some department such as the Municipal Health Insurance Bureau, the Municipal Health Committee, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Finance Bureau and other departments, the charging behavior of nucleic acid testing institutions in the city will be further standardized. When carrying out nucleic acid testing, all kinds of testing institutions in the city shall charge a unified price according to the new coronavirus nucleic acid testing items' price that is not higher than that of 35 yuan for single testing, not higher than that of 8 yuan for mixed testing, and no urgent fee shall be charged. All relevant testing agencies shall take the initiative to publicize the prices of new coronavirus nucleic acid testing and mixed testing in prominent positions, provide services to the public and charge fees in strict accordance with regulations, and standardize their own charging behavior.

在规范收费行为的同时，为满足群众尽早获得检测结果的需求，要求本市各类核酸检测机构加强核酸检测力量配置，进一步缩短出具核酸检测结果的时间，及时出具检测结果。在保障检测质量的前提下，做到快检快出，应在6小时内反馈各类人群的核酸检测结果，最长不超过12小时，并及时将数据上传北京健康宝。同时，为进一步加大监督力度，卫生健康部门未来将向社会定期公布检测机构质控评估结果，供群众知情选择。

At the same time of standardizing the charging behavior, in order to meet the public needs of obtaining the testing results as soon as possible, all kinds of nucleic acid testing institutions in this city are required to strengthen the allocation of nucleic acid testing forces, further shorten the time for issuing the nucleic acid testing results, and issue it in a timely manner. On the premise of ensuring the testing quality, quick testing and quick output should also be achieved, the nucleic acid testing results of various groups should be fed back within 6 hours, less than 12 hours, and the data should be uploaded to Beijing Health Treasure in time. Meanwhile, in order to further strengthen supervision, the Health Department will regularly publish the quality control evaluation results of testing institutions to the public in the future for the public to make informed choices.
