C Inpatients do not increase overall expenditure
Lowering drug prices and increasing service prices mean that if you go to a hospital in the future, you will see a clinic cost-effective, and hospitalization will cost you more money. The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Price Bureau did not think so. The price department said that the patients who have the most obvious experience of reducing the expenditure will be some patients with chronic diseases. Because they do not need regular medical examinations and only need to prescribe medicines, the expenditure must be reduced substantially. Inpatients and surgical patients do not necessarily feel that they are spending more. The reason is that this reform is carried out in parallel with the medical insurance supporting policies of the human and social department, and adjustments to the medical insurance policy involving adjustments will also be made to improve the health insurance payment ratio. For example, the examination fee was increased to 8 yuan, but the medical insurance paid most of the money, and patients may need only 2-3 yuan for their own expenses. In the end, through comprehensive support, the average outpatient and inpatient hospitalization fees for reformed public hospitals will be the same as in the past.
