PET-CT examination is a commonly used diagnostic tool, which is mainly applied to tumors, neurological diseases and other fields. Due to the high cost of PET-CT examination equipment, as well as the need for a number of preparations and follow-up treatments before and after the examination, the cost of the examination is relatively high, usually ranging from 2,000-7,000 RMB, with the specific price varying according to geographic location and different hospitals. As for the reimbursement of medical insurance, different regions have different policies. For example, Beijing health insurance can reimburse part of the cost of PET-CT examination, but it needs to meet relevant conditions, such as limiting the examination to second-level and above hospitals, and providing complete hospitalization certificates and examination reports and other supporting documents. There may be differences in health insurance policies in other regions, so you need to consult with the local health insurance department or inquire about the relevant policies. It is important to note that even if you are eligible for reimbursement from the health insurance, not all expenses will be fully reimbursed. Usually, medical insurance will set certain reimbursement rates and deductible limits according to relevant policies. At the same time, when choosing a hospital or testing center, you need to be careful to understand whether it is contracted with the medical insurance and whether it can provide the appropriate invoices and supporting documents in order to successfully apply for reimbursement.
Does PET-CT examination have any impact on the safety of the body? PET-CT examination is one of the safer means of examination, and its radiation dose is within the acceptable range, which will not cause significant impact on the body. However, before the examination, you need to inform your doctor in detail about your medical history, allergies and other information so that the doctor can conduct risk assessment and rationalize the examination arrangement.
PET-CT examination, as an important diagnostic tool, plays an important role in the early detection and treatment of tumors, neurological and other diseases. Due to the high cost of the examination, it is necessary to carefully understand the local health insurance policy and choose the appropriate hospital and examination organization to reduce the personal burden. At the same time, be sure to follow your doctor's advice and guidance to safeguard your health.
