Recently, a news report on the limitation of the number of days of hospitalization in the medical insurance has aroused widespread concern in the society. According to patients, some hospitals will force patients to be discharged or transferred to hospitals early on the grounds that "the medical insurance quota has been exhausted", and even deduct the doctor's salaryAs soon as this news was exposed, it immediately aroused strong repercussions and heated discussions among the publicHowever, the National Health Insurance Administration has recently made it clear that it has never issued a restrictive rule that "a single hospitalization shall not exceed 15 days". So, what exactly is this incident all about?
First of all, we have to make it clear that the National Health Insurance Administration has indeed not issued restrictive regulations on the number of days of hospitalization. This can be clearly seen from the official statement of the National Health Insurance Administration. The NHSA emphasizes that they always respect the rights and interests of patients and have never tried to interfere with medical practices through any form of restrictions. Therefore, those behaviors that forcibly require patients to be discharged from hospitals on the grounds that "the medical insurance quota has been exhausted" are not stipulated by the national medical insurance policy, but the behavior of individual medical institutions.
So, why is this happening? We believe that this may be related to the current strain on medical resources. In the case of limited medical resources, medical institutions may need to strike a balance between protecting the rights and interests of patients and making reasonable use of resourcesHowever, this does not mean that they can infringe on the rights and interests of patients at will, let alone pursue their own interests at the expense of patients
In addition, some netizens also pointed out that although the National Health Insurance Administration does not limit the number of days of hospitalization, some hospitals will indirectly limit the number of days of hospitalization of patients by deducting doctors' salaries. This practice is undoubtedly an infringement of the rights and interests of doctors, and it is also an interference with medical behavior. As the subject of medical treatment, the rights and interests of doctors also need to be protected. We cannot ignore the rights of doctors and patients in the pursuit of economic benefits.
In response to this problem, we believe that, first of all, medical institutions should strengthen internal management, standardize medical behavior, respect the rights and interests of patients, and should not forcibly require patients to be discharged for any reason. Second, the government should increase investment in medical resources and improve the efficiency of the use of medical resources to meet the needs of the majority of patients. At the same time, acts that infringe on the rights and interests of patients and doctors should be severely punished in accordance with the law in order to maintain medical order and fairness and justice
In addition, we also appeal to the majority of patients, if they encounter similar problems in the process of medical treatment, they can report to the local medical insurance department in a timely manner, or they can directly report to the national health insurance bureau. At the same time, we should also raise our awareness of self-protection, understand our rights and obligations, and avoid being used by illegal medical institutions.
In short, the issue of the limitation of the number of days of hospitalization in medical insurance is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem. We need to look at and solve this problem from multiple angles. Only when the government, medical institutions, doctors and patients work together can we build a fairer, more just and more efficient medical system, so that everyone can enjoy high-quality medical services. _
Finally, we expect the NHSA to further strengthen the supervision of medical institutions, standardize medical behavior, and protect the rights and interests of patients and doctorsAt the same time, we also hope that the majority of patients can enhance their awareness of self-protection, understand their rights and obligations, and jointly maintain medical order and fairness and justice.
