Insurance into the hospital?

Yesterday, on the study and implementation of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued "on the deepening of the views of the medical and health system" and "the recent focus on medical and health system implementation plan (2009 ~ 2011)," notice. Notice that in our country to the newly introduced medical reform process, give full play to the commercial insurance technical and management strengths.

The circular also said that the China Insurance Regulatory Commission said that insurance companies should explore the establishment of medical institutions, to participate in public hospitals, restructuring and reorganizing the feasibility and effective way.

In response, Capital University of Economics and Finance Institute Professor, Department of Insurance Tuo Guozhu, said: "this round of medical reform will bring greater commercial insurance space." Commercial insurance companies involved in restructuring and reorganizing public hospitals will be beneficial to security control medical expenses and reduce costs. "Open a prescription medicine for minor illnesses is large not only in patients with headache, but also the insurance companies a headache." Tuo Guozhu, said, "but if the insurance company equity participation in public hospitals will be in a certain extent, reverse this situation."

Foreign Trade and Economic Institute of the University, Professor Wang Guojun insurance told reporters: "At present, the health insurance companies are at a loss of. To turn losses into profits, is bound to the implementation of the road is managed care." The so-called managed care, that is, the OCI notice will be referred to yesterday by the insurance companies to build their own medical institutions, or directly as a shareholder of a public hospital. But the insurance companies involved in the reform of public hospitals in the process of restructuring may not be easy. Tuo Guozhu considered the ability to enter the restructuring process, the amount of funding to a number of large-scale, is questionable.
