In order to further improve the epidemic prevention and control work, standardize the price behavior of nucleic acid testing projects in novel coronavirus, reduce the testing price and reduce the burden on the masses, relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:
1. Adjust the price of novel coronavirus nucleic acid test (code 250403092, L250403092) in the Notice of Jiangsu Provincial Health and Health Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau on Adjusting the Price of Related Test Items in novel coronavirus (Su Medical Insurance Fa [2021] No.3) to 65 yuan/time, with the project connotation unchanged and clearly defined as single sampling.
Second, the original description of novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection (code 250403092-a) only refers to "mixed detection, which is limited to large-scale crowd screening organized by the government", and is adjusted to "mixed detection, including individual mixed sampling detection and large-scale crowd screening organized by the government". Medical institutions are allowed to provide testing services for inpatients and accompanying personnel by mixed sampling, and the fees are charged according to novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing (code 250403092-a).
Three, the medical insurance payment policy is still in accordance with the original provisions.
Principle of nucleic acid detection:
All living things contain nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. Novel coronavirus is a virus containing only RNA, and the specific RNA sequence in the virus is a sign to distinguish the virus from other pathogens.
After the appearance of novel coronavirus, Chinese scientists completed the analysis of the whole genome sequence of novel coronavirus in a very short time, and found the specific nucleic acid sequence in novel coronavirus by comparing with the genome sequences of other species.
If novel coronavirus's specific nucleic acid sequence can be detected in patients' samples during clinical laboratory testing, it should be suggested that patients may be infected by novel coronavirus.
Refer to CCTV-7 th for the above contents! The price of nucleic acid testing in COVID-19, Jiangsu Province was adjusted to 65 yuan/time.
