In general, patients need to have a valid medical insurance card and receive treatment at a medical insurance designated medical institution in order to be eligible for medical insurance reimbursement.

In addition, health insurance reimbursement is usually subject to a number of restrictions, such as the starting line, the ceiling line, and the reimbursement rate. The threshold is the minimum amount of money that the health insurance will start reimbursing, and only the portion above this amount will be included in the reimbursement. The ceiling is the maximum amount that can be reimbursed by the medical insurance, and the patient is responsible for the excess amount. The reimbursement rate is the percentage of eligible expenses that are reimbursed by the health insurance, which may vary from region to region and from policy to policy.

In order to understand the specific reimbursement policy, it is recommended that the patient and his/her family members consult with the health insurance department or medical institution in their area. These organizations usually provide detailed policy interpretation and reimbursement guidance to help patients better understand and use health insurance policies.

Patients and their families can better plan their treatment and reduce their financial burden by knowing the specific costs and reimbursement policies. At the same time, patients are advised to choose a designated medical institution for medical insurance when receiving treatment, and to keep relevant bills and supporting documents for future reimbursement.
