The bulk of a hospital's revenue comes mainly from fees for medical services. The medical services provided by hospitals involve doctor's consultation fees, drug fees, examination fees and so on. These are all sources of income for hospitals. In addition, hospitals can also get revenue from medical insurance funds, commercial insurance, personal out-of-pocket expenses and other ways. But medical service charges are always the main source of hospital income.
Why are medical service charges the bulk of hospital revenue?
Medical service charges can be said to be the guarantee of hospital revenue. Hospitals need to pay high costs of labor and material resources to provide services, and these costs need to be paid back through fees. Moreover, with the continuous upgrading of medical technology and equipment, the quality and price of medical services are improving, which is ultimately reflected in the medical service charges. Therefore, medical service charges are the bulk of the hospital's income and an important guarantee for the hospital's sustainable development.
How to reasonably charge to maintain the sustainable operation of the hospital?
The reasonableness of medical service charges is not only related to the economic benefits of hospitals, but also to the interests of patients and the quality of medical care. Therefore, hospitals should formulate reasonable medical service charges according to different medical services, regions and market demands. At the same time, the hospital should also strengthen the internal cost control, improve the efficiency and quality of medical services, so as to rationally control the medical service charges and maintain the sustainable operation of the hospital.
