In 2015, health care became one of the hottest words in medicine, and it was often linked to policy. As a member of the medical circle, this has become an important aspect of concern.

On January 11, 2016, the National Health Planning Commission officially issued 《Opinions on the Integration of the Basic Medical Insurance System for Urban and Rural Residents. In other words, starting from January 11, 2016, ChinaUrban and rural health insurance combined into one.

It stipulates that the two systems of basic medical insurance for urban residents (hereinafter referred to as urban residents' medical insurance) and the new rural cooperative medical system (hereinafter referred to as the new rural cooperative medical system) should be integrated, and a unified basic medical insurance system for urban and rural residents (hereinafter referred to as urban and rural residents' medical insurance) should be established.

we should follow the general idea of unifying systems, integrating policies, equalizing levels, perfecting mechanisms, and upgrading services,From the unified coverage, unified financing policy, unified security treatment, unified medical insurance catalog, unified fixed-point management, unified fund management and other aspects of integration.Actively build a medical insurance system for urban and rural residents that guarantees fairness, standardized management services, and effective use of medical resources.

Under the situation that the price of medical consumables is overwhelmed by the country, consumables manufacturers and distributors are eager to have the opportunity to return to this. If the price of consumables continues to be pressed, then the opportunity for companies to return to their capital can only rely on high market demand and market capacity.

The combination of urban and rural medical insurance issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission this time provides a shot in the arm for consumables manufacturers. The two systems that were originally decentralized were integrated and managed in a unified manner. Combined with the national implementation of graded diagnosis and treatment, the consumables market is bound to expand. Then the next step for enterprises to do is to make a good strategic layout and strive to win every medical institution market.

This time clearly put forward:The reform of the compound payment method combining various payment methods, such as pay per head, pay per disease, pay per bed day, and total advance payment,Establish and improve the negotiation and consultation mechanism and risk sharing mechanism between medical insurance agencies and medical institutions and drug suppliers, promote the formation of reasonable medical insurance payment standards, guide designated medical institutions to standardize service behavior, and control unreasonable growth of medical expenses.

Through measures such as supporting insured residents to carry out contract services with primary medical institutions and general practitioners, and formulating differentiated payment policies, we will promote the construction of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and gradually form a new order of primary diagnosis, two-way referral, emergency and slow treatment, and linkage between upper and lower levels.

The rapid advancement of graded diagnosis and treatment will lead to the rapid expansion of the grassroots market. At that time, no matter medical consumables and medical equipment will face a large gap, so we must seize the opportunity and do a good job in the development of the grassroots market, so that the grassroots market demand can be the first time when it breaks out. Occupy the market.

Generally speaking, the combination of urban and rural medical insurance brings more and more market capacity and space to the medical equipment circle. Machinery enterprises should seize this opportunity to bring more profits to themselves.
