Xi Xi (pseudonym), a 5-year-old child with autism, went to Dushan County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for rehabilitation treatment since he was 3 years old.
At that time, Xixi could only pronounce some overlapping words, and he would be shy when he came into contact with outsiders, and only liked to play alone, not with children of the same age.
After 2 years of rehabilitation, Xixi's condition has improved greatly: he is able to communicate with his family, he has gone to an ordinary kindergarten, he can easily communicate with children of the same age without barriers, and he can express his meaning.
"Thanks to good policies. Xixi's changes made her parents very happy, the most important thing is that there are relevant subsidies and exemption policies, and Xixi's treatment costs have been greatly reduced, reducing the financial burden on the family.
In the rehabilitation treatment, special children often face problems such as long treatment cycle and slow effect, which greatly increases the cost of rehabilitation medical treatment.
In response to this situation, the Qiannan Prefecture Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Payment Standards for Some Children's Rehabilitation Diseases to Implement Bed-Day Payment", and with the consent of the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau, it took the lead in exploring the reform of the payment method for rehabilitation treatment of disabled children in the province, and implemented the bed-day payment policy.
According to the policy, coupled with the rehabilitation assistance provided by the Disabled Persons' Federation to the special child group, the Dushan County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has reduced or exempted the out-of-pocket expenses of the special child group treated in the hospital, so as to support the families of special children in rehabilitation treatment to the greatest extent.
Xiao You (pseudonym) is also a special child, since he was a child, the movement of his shoulder joints has been limited, his upper limbs cannot be lifted or grasped, and his lower limbs cannot stand or walk.
"We believe that the child will recover slowly in the future. After undergoing rehabilitation at Dushan County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Xiao You is now not only able to stand and walk alone, but also go up and down the stairs on her own, which gives Xiao You's family hope.
"With the help of relevant units, our financial burden has also been reduced a lot. Especially with the support of the policy, Xiaoyou's family has also strengthened their determination to continue treatment.
It is understood that since the implementation of the daily bed payment policy in 2022, Dushan County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has carried out rehabilitation treatment for special children in Dushan County and surrounding counties and cities, and a total of more than 80 yuan of out-of-pocket expenses have been reduced.
By formulating a list of basic diagnosis and treatment services and adopting a fixed amount of payment per bed per unit, the policy has strictly controlled unreasonable medical expenses, improved the level of medical security for children with disabilities, and greatly reduced the financial burden on the families of children with disabilities.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 560 disabled children under the age of 6 in Qiannan Prefecture have enjoyed the policy treatment, and all the children who should be collected and treated have been treated. At the same time, combined with the subsidy and exemption policies of relevant departments, the "zero" burden of rehabilitation treatment has been basically realized, making the state's medical security system more sound and allowing high-quality development to benefit more groups.
