How is the CT examination fee set?

The method of charging CT examination fees is determined by the local price bureau and the Development and Reform Commission, which means that CT examination fees are different everywhere. The selling price of a 64-row CT is definitely more than 12 million dollars, and GE's 64-row machine in Beijing sells for about 14 million dollars. At the same time, in the process of using the machine, if there is damage to the bulb tube or other problems, the maintenance cost is quite high. A single-row CT bulb tube is about 200,000 or more, 64 rows of doubled high, each bulb tube has a relatively fixed service life, in the machine before the end of life, the bulb tube will basically go through the replacement. Meanwhile, the price of film is included in the cost of the examination, and the hospital buys in film for about $30 a piece. At the same time, the doctor's operating costs, the labor income from writing diagnostic reports will also be in this money. In fact, the irrationality of China's medical care lies in the fact that hospitals are like kiosks, selling basically items rather than technology. A charge of nearly 2,000 yuan of CT-guided liver cysts puncture sclerotherapy, a needle hospital's purchase price of about 600 yuan, the surgeon's labor costs only 60 yuan, to put it bluntly, are fucking let the sale of equipment and drugs to make money.
