Chapter 492: Medical treatment
How exactly did Han Songlin confess that summer?
No one knows except for Liu Yuyan now.
Han Songlin dares not ask!
The interview ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and Han Songlin invited everyone to have a meal together at home and sat down to chat.
Everyone also took a photo together as a souvenir.
After some additional filming, the CCTV interview team went straight back to the capital!
This time, they didn't have to take the slow train, but were sent to the airport in a bus by Xinghai Group, which also reimbursed them for the flight back to Beijing.
Huang Yufeng had originally refused, but Han Songlin was very insistent, saying that the flight tickets had already been bought!
In that case, Huang Yufeng didn't insist anymore.
Huang Yufeng had not had the opportunity to fly on an airplane many times. Many of the younger people in the team had only seen airplanes on television.
After the interview team returned to Beijing, the CCTV leadership first watched the interview with Han Songlin.
They then took the interview footage away, and the next day, they took it back and told them to start editing it for broadcast as soon as possible.
After the interview team left, Han Songlin was free for two days. Then he often went to the hospital to take a look around.
Xinghai Hospital was currently the best hospital in the entire Jiangzhong area, and it was incomparable to Jiangzhong First Hospital, Jiangzhong Second Hospital, or Jiangzhong Third Hospital.
Xinghai Hospital had strong medical technology, and naturally, the number of patients seeking treatment there had also increased tremendously.
With so many patients, Han Songlin was surprised to see no scalpers.
Now that Xinghai Hospital was a private hospital, did scalpers not want to come here anymore?
As a private hospital, Xinghai Hospital naturally had to make a profit, and Han Songlin had previously made certain regulations for the hospital.
For example, Xinghai Hospital also emphasises the level of medical skills, and it is also classified into the technical system of the Xinghai Group.
At Xinghai Hospital, doctors are required to charge a consultation fee when seeing patients.
The consultation fee varies depending on the level of the doctor.
For example, a black iron doctor, well, a black iron doctor is not qualified to see patients alone at Xinghai Hospital.
Only a silver-level doctor at Xinghai Hospital has the right to see patients.
As for black iron and bronze, just study your skills honestly.
According to the hospital's regulations, the income from consultation fees needs to be split between the doctor and the hospital, and this split ratio is different for each level of doctor.
For example, for a silver-level doctor, it is 40-60, with the doctor getting 40% and the hospital 60%. For a gold-level doctor, it is 50-50, for platinum it is 60-40, for diamond it is 70-30, for master it is 80-20, for academician it is 90-10, and if you are in charge of the hospital, the hospital does not get any.
Consultation fees are a major source of income for doctors at Xinghai Hospital. They are much higher than the salaries paid by the hospital, several times higher.
Doctors can adjust their consultation fees within the range set by the hospital for each level.
They can even waive the consultation fees for difficult patients, but they have to write an application, and it must be handwritten by the doctor themselves.
Why do doctors have to handwrite it? To put it bluntly, it is to prevent doctors from being overly sympathetic.
If the doctor waives the fee, he will still get paid, but the hospital will go bankrupt.
The hospital's income comes from several sources: doctors' consultation fees and profits from drug sales. I should mention something about the drugs here. The hospital purchases all its drugs directly from the pharmaceutical factory at the ex-factory price.
Therefore, when the drugs are sold to patients, there is no need to add a large mark-up, just 50%.
In fact, this price is already considered a conscience drug.
In addition, the income from hospitalization fees is also a large sum of money.
After all, hospitalisation is quite expensive at Xinghai Hospital.
The hospital also does not require doctors to request hospitalisation for patients who do not need it.
Han Songlin silently looked around the hospital for a while, and there was nothing to say about the environment of the entire hospital.
There was definitely no lack of greenery and other things that should be there.
Han Songlin values greenery, and everyone knows this, so now a style has formed. Anyway, no matter if it is a factory, school, or hospital under the Xinghai Group, the greenery must be done well.
It's not easy to tell with the other things, but Han Songlin can tell at a glance how good the greenery is!
Han Songlin knows this, but doesn't want to say anything.
There is a reason why there are no scalpers at Xinghai Hospital.
You need real money to register, and the higher the doctor's rank, the more expensive the consultation fee naturally becomes.
Generally speaking, patients rarely take the initiative to register with a high-ranking doctor.
It's too expensive!
Does it mean that high-ranking doctors don't have any patients?
Obviously not.
Patients definitely want to save money and be able to get well, and the doctors they register with also want to get well, but they are not up to the task.
What should they do at this time?
Of course they should find a more capable doctor.
Therefore, the patients of high-level doctors are generally referred by lower-level doctors.
When the patient is transferred, naturally, the consultation fee has to be increased from the original basis to a level that is in line with the high-level doctor's consultation fee.
If the lower-level doctor charges 30 yuan and the higher-level doctor charges 50 yuan, then the patient has to pay an additional 20 yuan.
At Xinghai Hospital, the higher-level doctor's appointments are usually not taken, unless the patient knows that their illness is more difficult.
As for scalpers, according to the regulations of Xinghai Hospital, after an appointment is made, if no patient comes to see the doctor for half an hour, the appointment will become invalid.
Therefore, scalpers simply dare not come.
The senior doctor's appointments are so expensive that they are bound to lose money, so who would come?
Han Songlin had a chat with Xia Kaiping, the director of Xinghai Hospital, who is a doctor with a very high level of medical ethics.
Previously, Xia Kaiping was the deputy director of a hospital in a county below the Jiangzhong.
After hearing of Xia Kaiping's reputation, Han Songlin personally went out of his way to invite Xia Kaiping to Xinghai Hospital.
In the hospital, Han Songlin suddenly realised something that he had not noticed before.
This was still an era when neither medical insurance nor social security had been established!
Especially medical insurance.
Without medical insurance, people's access to medical treatment became a huge problem.
There were countless people who were waiting to die at home because they could not afford to see a doctor.
'I can't change anything else yet, but if I were in Jiangzhong, I might be able to do something.'
Thinking it through, Han Songlin immediately called Luo Xiaozhong out to have dinner together.
It so happened that Luo Xiaozhong also needed to make his mark in Jiangzhong.
It's good to follow the rules, but who doesn't want to leave something of their own?
So, after Luo Xiaozhong heard Han Songlin's idea about medical insurance, he decided to go for it straight away.
It happened that it was only the beginning of the year, so they would start this year.
In the first year, they would first test the effect, and not require everyone in Jiangzhong to join the medical insurance.
After all, some people are like hawks that won't settle for less than the best, and they won't join until they see the benefits.
Luo Xiaozhong made medical insurance his top priority after taking office.
He included the entire population of the city, including those who worked in Jiangzhong, in the medical insurance system.
He established medical insurance for urban workers and cooperative medical insurance for city residents.
He also included the medical insurance for the city's public institution personnel in the medical insurance for urban workers.
As for everyone else, they can only buy the cooperative medical insurance for residents, which has a low premium and a lower reimbursement rate than the employee medical insurance.
