Is there a registration fee for nucleic acid testing?

Nucleic acid testing generally requires going to a hospital or a professional nucleic acid testing institution. Going to the hospital by yourself is generally at your own expense. Some hospitals need to make an appointment in advance, so they will charge a certain registration fee. However, for the convenience of the masses, most hospitals only do nucleic acid testing, and there is no need to register or pay registration fees.

Do I need to pay a registration fee for nucleic acid testing? Generally, there is no need to charge a registration fee, but it mainly depends on the regulations of each hospital. Some hospitals may require registration and make an appointment, and may charge a certain registration fee.

Nucleic acid detection institutions shall set up special windows and areas in accordance with relevant requirements to provide sampling services for simple nucleic acid detection. The masses do not need to register and are exempt from outpatient consultation fees.

The Notice on Further Improving the Service of Nucleic Acid Testing in COVID-19 issued by National Health Commission clearly stipulates that nucleic acid testing institutions should set up special windows or areas to provide sampling services for those who are willing to check and test, and those who return to China should carry out nucleic acid testing.

At present, Hubei, Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong and other places have also introduced new regulations. Obviously, only COVID-19 has no registration fee for nucleic acid testing.

Why does nucleic acid testing need a registration fee? Whether hospitals charge registration fees should be analyzed in detail. If there are some symptoms that need to be diagnosed and treated by the doctor in the clinic, such as fever and cough, the patient is not "simply" tested for nucleic acid and must register. The significance of registration lies in more awareness of the value of doctors' diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, if you don't register, the patient doesn't have his own ID number. Without such serial numbers, hospitals cannot manage patients independently and uniquely.

Nucleic acid detection, as a routine means of epidemic prevention, is also a means for people to know their own health status. It may be used for a long time in the future. The registration fee for nucleic acid testing has blossomed everywhere, which is similar to the previously adjusted nucleic acid testing fee, and its significance lies in further reducing the burden on the masses.

Matters needing attention in nucleic acid detection 1. Do not eat saturated drinking water 2 hours before the test. The content of pharyngeal virus will be affected by diet and swallowing. In addition, if the stimulation during the test leads to cough, nausea and vomiting, then overeating may lead to inhalation.

2. Some people have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection before testing, so they usually choose the parts with mild lesions for testing and follow-up. If there is a lot of bleeding or severe edema in the nasopharynx, the test should be suspended.

3. Bring an extra mask. Prevent pollution after wearing, and prevent the protective ability of the mask from decreasing due to sweating in high temperature weather.

Don't be hungry, tired and stay up late before the exam. Tests usually need to be queued. Excessive hunger may lead to hypoglycemia or blood diseases.

In addition, fatigue after strenuous exercise, intense mood swings, staying up late, etc. may be unstable factors in the detection process. In order to keep a cool head, please keep enough sleep and proper diet.

In the process of testing, we must actively cooperate with medical staff. Don't stay at the testing point for a long time after testing to reduce the risk of cross infection.
