The New Rural Cooperative Medical System may now be "severing diplomatic relations", and the state will rectify it!There are new changes in medical insurance?A wave of "severing diplomatic relations" about NCMS has aroused public concern. According to reports, more and more medical institutions have chosen to break off their cooperation with NCMS, which has affected the health insurance benefits of rural residents. In order to solve this problem, the state took action to rectify it. At the same time, there have been new changes in medical insurance policies. In this article, we will start from the actual situation, talk about the issues of NCMS and medical insurance in sections, and share some personal views.
Let's take a look at why there is a phenomenon of "breaking off diplomatic relations" between NCMS and hospitals. The report pointed out that some medical institutions chose to suspend cooperation with NCMS, mainly due to the increased burden on hospitals caused by the low cost of medical insurance for farmers. It is understood that the charging standards set by NCMS in the early stage of implementation have not been adjusted accordingly with the price of goods, which makes farmers' medical insurance costs low for a long time and inconsistent with the actual medical costs. As a result, some medical institutions were unable to afford the costs and had to choose to break off their partnerships.
In response to this problem, the state has taken a series of measures to rectify it. First of all, the state has made it clear that medical institutions are not allowed to unilaterally suspend NCMS cooperation, and that cooperation can only be interrupted after due process and filing with the National Health Commission. In addition, the state will also intensify the investigation and punishment of medical institutions suspected of violating regulations and interrupting cooperation, and pursue their legal responsibilities in accordance with the law. The promulgation of this series of measures shows the state's determination to safeguard the rights and interests of farmers and promote the development of NCMS.
Relying solely on the state's efforts to rectify the problem cannot completely solve the problem. We also need to fundamentally solve the reasons for the "wave of severance of diplomatic relations" between NCMS and hospitals. First of all, the state should strengthen the supervision and management of the operation of NCMS, ensure that its charging standards are commensurate with medical costs, and adjust in a timely manner to adapt to economic development and inflationary pressures. At the same time, it is also necessary to increase the cost of medical insurance for farmers so that it is more in line with the actual situation. Secondly, medical institutions should also establish a good communication mechanism in the cooperative relationship, communicate and solve problems in a timely manner, and avoid the occurrence of "severance of diplomatic relations".
In addition to the issue of NCMS, there have also been new changes in the medical insurance policy. Recently, the National Health Commission issued a notice on adjusting the medical insurance policy, which has attracted widespread attention. According to the notice, in the future, the coverage of medical insurance will be further expanded, and the medical subsidy standards for farmers, urban residents and urban subsistence allowance recipients will be raised, and more people will be able to enjoy fair and reasonable medical insurance treatment. The promulgation of this policy will play a positive role in promoting the improvement of China's medical insurance system and will help improve the level of medical security for farmers and urban residents.
In my personal opinion, the "severance of diplomatic relations" between NCMS and hospitals is an important problem facing the current medical system. Solving this problem requires the joint efforts of the state, medical institutions and farmers. The state should intensify supervision to ensure the smooth operation of NCMS and adjust the charging standards in a timely manner. Medical institutions should establish a good cooperative relationship with NCMS, communicate and solve problems in a timely manner, and ensure that farmers' medical insurance benefits are not affected. Farmers should also actively participate in and supervise the operation of NCMS and strive for better medical security.
To sum up, the current "wave of severing diplomatic relations" between NCMS and hospitals has aroused the attention of the state, and the state has introduced a series of measures to rectify this problem. At the same time, there have been new adjustments to the medical insurance policy. Solving this problem requires the joint efforts of all parties, including the state, medical institutions and farmers. It is hoped that through these efforts, reasonable medical insurance treatment for farmers can be realized, so that everyone can enjoy fair and reasonable medical security. Let's look forward to the continuous improvement and progress of the medical insurance system!
