How to see a doctor in the United States for medical treatment, the U.S. health care system in-depth analysis

First of all, let's recognize the hospitals in the United States. American hospitals are divided into public and private hospitals. Public hospitals are large, not for profit, fee income for the survival and development of the hospital, but also need to be supported by government grants, but also tax-free. And private hospitals are divided into two kinds: one is a charitable organization set up by non-profit hospitals, they as a supplement to the public hospitals, is purely for public welfare purposes; and the other is the high fees of the for-profit private hospitals, accordingly, this kind of hospitals, high level of doctors, advanced equipment, specialty hospitals are mainly, the number is relatively small. Public hospitals can basically meet the citizens of the minimum medical insurance, and private hospitals mainly provide high-end medical services, the combination of the two formed the U.S. characteristics of the health care system.

Medicine in the United States

In Chinese hospitals, the doctor wrote a prescription and paid the fee before going to the window to get the medicine, medicine as a whole, of course there is also a separate pharmacy, but the pharmacy mostly sells over-the-counter medicines, the patient needs to choose what medicines they can go to the counter to settle the bill. But American hospitals have the right to treat and diagnose, not the right to sell drugs, that is to say, doctors in the United States are only responsible for diagnosis, the patient takes the doctor's prescription to another pharmacy to buy drugs. Fundamentally, medicine is separate, so there is no phenomenon of medicine for medicine. Of course, in the United States can go to a separate pharmacy to buy drugs, but ordinary drugs and domestic comparison is much more expensive, but some of the new drugs are about the same price, or even cheaper.

Doctors in the U.S.

It takes at least ten years to qualify to practice medicine in the U.S. Not only is tuition expensive, but during that time, you have to go through countless exams, both large and small. After becoming a full-fledged doctor, you will also be required to take a variety of exams on a regular basis, and every few years you will have to take a very strict qualifying exam, and if you fail the exam, you will be disqualified from practicing medicine. No real skills in the United States is not a doctor, but also because of the high threshold, so the United States only more than 800,000 people from the doctor, the total number of people is small, the treatment is correspondingly high. At the same time, the U.S. supervision mechanism is very perfect, most of the doctor's account is monitored, once there is illegal behavior will immediately be the bank inventory, record personal files. The integrity of the U.S. medical community file for those who have a bad track record of doctors will be blacklisted by the National Association of Physicians, all the blacklisted people, will not be hired by any medical organization within the United States. So almost no doctor will risk losing a well-paid career for a measly few hundred dollars in red packets.

Medicare in the United States

In the United States, most of the expenses for a visit to the doctor for citizens with health insurance are covered by the health insurance company, and the individual only needs to bear a small part of it. In 1986, the U.S. mandated that all hospitals participating in the Medicare program must conduct basic medical examinations of emergency patients, must treat and stabilize emergency patients, and generally must stabilize emergency patients before they can be transferred to or from the hospital. After treatment, if the patient is unable to pay for the treatment there can be many ways to solve the problem: First, the patient can pay in installments. Secondly, relief can be sought as far as possible. Third, relief and assistance can be applied for. Fourthly, if there is really no money, forget it, but personal credit may be affected as a result. Although the law says so, families without health insurance may really be at risk of bankruptcy if they are suddenly struck by a serious illness.

For Chinese patients who do not have U.S. health insurance or international insurance, it is natural that they will have to bear high medical expenses as self-paying patients to see a doctor in the United States. In order to solve this problem, Vickers Health International is vigorously promoting the "U.S. Medical Discount Program", which does not require a U.S. Social Security number, does not require any waiting period, and is available to any customer who needs to travel to the U.S. for treatment, regardless of age or condition. After registering for a member account and insurance ID, it only takes three working days for the program to be reviewed and approved, and then the customer can take their insurance ID to the hospital to seek medical treatment as an insured patient. Up to now, customers who have been served have been able to enjoy an average discount of thirty-five to fifty-five percent, which has greatly reduced the financial burden of the patient's family.
