How to get financial assistance for hospitalization in COVID-19?

In China, the government has adopted a special financial subsidy policy for the medical expenses of COVID-19 infected people. The specific collection procedures and policies can be adjusted according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control and the local financial situation, and usually include the following steps:

1.** Diagnosed COVID-19 * *: First of all, it must be diagnosed as COVID-19 virus infection by medical institutions.

2.** Settlement of medical expenses * *: During hospitalization, hospitals generally pay medical expenses in advance, and then settle the expenses after treatment.

3.** Personal payment * *: According to local policies, patients may need to pay some expenses in advance, which may include personal burden of medical insurance and expenses beyond the scope of medical insurance reimbursement.

4.** Medical insurance reimbursement * *: If the patient participates in medical insurance, part of the expenses can be reimbursed through medical insurance.

5.** Financial subsidy * *: The remaining self-funded part after medical insurance reimbursement is usually subsidized by finance. The specific subsidy process may require patients or their families to submit relevant materials, such as identity certificates and diagnosis certificates. However, many times this process is directly settled by the hospital and the financial department, and the patient does not need additional surgery.

6.** Pay attention to the latest policy * *: As the policy may change, it is recommended to pay attention to the latest notice issued by the local health department or financial department in time.
