新的农村医保政策可能会产生反作用
(4月9日于上海国际文传电讯社-中国)
一位业内人士于本月7日透露给本社:新医保政策真的是否能帮助边区农民减少医疗成本还是未知数。
湖南宝蓝汇医药有限公司的李海林总经理说:即使政府预投资城镇医保来缓解公众医疗花费,但是,该计划的实施可能会适得其反。
国务院在四月七日发布了2009至2011年的医疗改革实施计划,规定各级政府部门加大对基础医疗保险体系的投资力度。更具体来说,新型农村合作医疗保险计划中规定医疗补助会到2010年会由如今的每人每年60元(8.78美元)翻番,增至每人每年120元。同时,会增加对住院费用的补助及扩大门诊治疗的补偿服务范围。
李总说道:自从2005年推行新型农村合作医保计划以来,我就了解到在一些边远地区,医生会给已经投保的病人开更贵的药及推荐更多收费性的服务,因为通常这些病人看病国家是会给补偿的。更多情况下实际上农民反而会支付更多的医疗费用。仅仅增加政府医疗补助不能减轻农民医疗费用的压力,而应该寻求有效措施杜绝医生接收医疗回扣。
李总指出,由于新农村医保计划的实施,农村有越来越多的人在医生的建议下愿意住院进行治疗。2003年,农民的住院率占整个农村居民人后的3%,而在2008年,自从在全国范围内推行了医保计划,该比率达到8%至10%。
由于新型农村合作医保计划中规定,只有住院费用才能报销,医生们可能劝说病人住院接收治疗,即使他们并不完全需要这样。如此一来,不仅增加了不必要的基本医保资金,同时也增加了农民的医疗费用实际支出。
据国家卫生部统计,已有8亿1千5百万的农民于去年年底加入了该新型农村合作医保计划,参与率达到了91.5%
李总指出:为了使农民更有效地利用医疗补贴,政府应该削减对小疾病的报销力度,而应确保能提供对需要大手术的重大疾病和长疗程慢性疾病的补贴。

New rural cooperative medical insurance program may be counterproductive
Shanghai. April 9. INTERFAX-CHINA - It is uncertain whether the new rural cooperative medical insurance program will actually help reduce health care costs for rural residents in China, an industry insider told Interfax on April 7.
"Even though the government plans to increase investment into the urban and rural medical insurance programs to ease the public's medical expense burden, in practice, the implementation may end up doing just the opposite," Li Hailin, president of Hunan Baolanhui Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., said.
On April 7, the State Council released major implementation plans for the health care reform from 2009 to 2011, which stipulate that governments at all levels will increase funding towards the basic medical insurance system. More specifically, insurance subsidies for the new rural cooperative medical insurance program will be raised from the current level of RMB 60 ($8.78) per person each year to RMB 120 ($17.55) per person each year by 2010. Also, reimbursements for inpatient medical expenses will be raised and the range of outpatient treatment services eligible for reimbursement will be expanded.
"Since the introduction of the new rural medical cooperative insurance program in 2005, I have observed that in grassroots medical institutions in rural areas, doctors tend to prescribe more expensive medicines and recommend more treatment services to rural residents participating in the insurance program since insurance participants typically get part of their medical expenses reimbursed. More often than not, even with the reimbursements, rural residents end up incurring higher medical expenses," Li said.
Li said rural residents' high medical expense burden cannot be solved by simply increasing government insurance subsidies, rather the government should also explore effective ways to resolve the problem of doctors accepting drug kickbacks.
According to Li, the rate of inpatient treatment in rural areas has also surged since the introduction of the new rural medical cooperative insurance program. In 2003, prior to the widespread implementation of the program, the hospitalization rate for rural residents stood at 3 percent. In 2008, three years after the program had been adopted across the country, the hospitalization rate was between 8 percent and 10 percent.
"Under the system, doctors may persuade patients to be hospitalized even when they do not need to partly because in some regions, only inpatient expenses can be reimbursed under the new rural cooperative medical insurance program. This has led to the unnecessary spending of basic medical insurance funds as well as increased medical expenses for rural residents," Li said.
According to Ministry of Health (MoH) statistics, a total of 815 million rural residents peasants had participated in the new rural cooperative medical insurance program as of the end of last year, representing a 91.5 percent participation rate.
"To make better use of limited medical insurance funds for rural residents, the government should cut down on reimbursement of medical expenses for minor ailments and ensure that reimbursement is adequate for major and chronic disease treatment," Li said.
