What are the benefits of da Vinci robotic surgery? It is here that we have to mention the ordinary surgical procedures. As we all know, ordinary surgeries often cause more traumatic surfaces, especially some medical surgeries, such as prostate and heart surgeries and so on. The amount of bleeding is large, and it is not easy to recover after the surgery, and even after recovery, it is easy to make the person's vitality greatly injured. But with da Vinci robotic surgery, it doesn't require a lot of trauma. It requires a few incisions in the skin. It can be done with precision through the robotic arm.
What cities currently have robotic surgery? Because da Vinci robotic surgery is more expensive, it is currently more popular mainly in first-tier and second-tier cities. For example, it is popularized in other cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanjing. Compared to the domestic popularity of da Vinci robotic surgery, in the United States general surgery, more than 90% of the surgery is done by robot. According to the current clinical performance of the cost of surgery, there will be about 20,000 yuan of medical costs for each start-up, as well as other mechanical costs. That's why there were fewer patients using robotic surgery five years ago, with just over 500 cases in the past five years.
Will da Vinci robotic surgery be covered by Medicare? Currently there is no reimbursement for da Vinci robotic surgery under regular health insurance. But don't worry, there are many commercial health insurance policies that offer targeted coverage for da Vinci robotic surgery. So you can learn more about it before you buy the insurance. Even some of the insurance companies advertise da Vinci robotic surgery as a key point.
Currently, robotic surgery is not yet in the Medicare catalog, and the start-up fee and the cost of the robotic arm for robotic surgery are not yet reimbursable by Medicare, but the cost of the surgery itself is reimbursable.
