Recently, a cured and discharged patient shot a video to show the bill, the patient told himself how much it costs to treat a new crown pneumonia. This 30-year-old Nie Jia was cured and discharged after 33 days of hospitalization, he said: ? Until I was discharged from the hospital I did not know how much money I spent.? At that time just hospitalized Nie Jia paid 5,000 yuan, hospitalized on the fourth day shows that has owed more than 1,000 yuan, but the hospital did not let him continue to pay. Because the country introduced a policy of free treatment for patients with new crown pneumonia. When he was discharged from the hospital he was also told that the advance of 5,000 yuan will be returned.
The friend said, another friend he was on the third floor of the intensive care unit, his treatment costs, the total **** treatment for 40 days, there are five days on this non-invasive ventilator, not on the extracorporeal lungs (that is, ECMO), the cost of his treatment, the most serious one week is about 100,000 yuan. According to the microblogging released by Dr. Yang, a surgeon at the Wuhan University People's Hospital, the medical cost of a patient with new coronavirus pneumonia is 1.129 million yuan, but the cost of the diagnosed patient, are borne by the state, perhaps only in China, the state will give you to cover all the medical costs of treating new coronavirus pneumonia.
When the manifestation of heavy or critical situation, there may be respiratory distress, hypoxemia, shock, hemorrhagic coagulation dysfunction and multi-organ failure, in this case it is possible to use to the ventilator or ECMO, this cost is relatively large, may reach more than 100,000 yuan. In addition, some antiviral drugs, such as the latest emergence of Ridecivir is likely to be effective against the new coronavirus, the price of just one Ridecivir can range from 5,000 to 7,000, the use of about nine days, the cost of tens of thousands of dollars. The cost of basic treatment for critically ill patients may be the process by which the cost of each component increases exponentially.
If it's critical, it's possible that multiple people may be needed to care for one person. The cost of examination is not just lung CT anymore, the frequency of nucleic acid testing, blood tests will increase a lot, many times a day blood tests are possible, a blood gas test, bacterial culture has a few hundred dollars, 3-5 times a day or even more, the cost will be difficult to budget. In a typical ICU, the daily cost is $10-20,000, and some say that ECMO costs $30,000 per day. If you do the math this way, the pneumonia in a critically ill neocoronary pneumonia patient can reach $50,000 dollars. There is no way to assess the duration of treatment, 10 days is 500,000 dollars.
