On April 25, the reporter learned from the Karamay Medical Security Bureau that since March 1, 9 therapeutic assisted reproductive technologies such as testicular fine needle aspiration, B ultrasound egg collection, and sperm DNA integrity testing have been included in the scope of payment of the basic medical insurance fund.
Assisted reproductive technology is an important way for many families who are unable to conceive naturally for various reasons, and it is an important way to realize their dream of having children. These technologies have not only helped many families realize their dreams of parenting, but also alleviated the pressure of social fertility to a certain extent and promoted the optimization of population structure. Under normal circumstances, the cost of assisted reproduction transplant cycle treatment is about 30,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan, of which more than half of women need to receive assisted reproductive treatment again or even multiple times, and the economic burden is heavier. The inclusion of therapeutic assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance undoubtedly provides strong financial support for families who are eager to have children.
According to reports, the insured can receive standardized assisted reproductive technology services in designated medical institutions with assisted reproductive technology, enjoy medical insurance treatment, and there is no fund minimum payment standard when reimbursement, and the reimbursement ratio of basic medical insurance for urban employees and basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents is 80% and 70% respectively, which is included in the maximum annual fund payment limit of the insured personnel.
"In addition to financial support, the inclusion of assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance also means that assisted reproductive technology will be more widely recognized and promoted, which will help improve the society's awareness of assisted reproductive technology and make more people understand and accept this technology. At the same time, with the popularization of technology, relevant medical institutions and practitioners will get better development opportunities, thereby promoting the progress of the entire industry. The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Medical Security Bureau said.
The person in charge said that in the next step, the Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau will further improve the management of the agreement in accordance with the guidance requirements of the National and Autonomous Region Medical Insurance Bureau, adjust the relevant parameters of the information system in a timely manner, strengthen the monitoring, analysis and evaluation of the operation of the fund, and ensure the implementation of policy specifications and the safe operation of the fund.
