Continuously reducing the price of nucleic acid detection to enhance the sense of access of the masses

2021-12-10

"This morning, I went to the county hospital for nucleic acid testing. When I came, I knew that the price had been reduced to 38 yuan, and the price had been reduced again, and now the testing service of the hospital is more convenient." Tan Jiahong, who lives in Shiquan County, Ankang, Shaanxi Province, said. The price of nucleic acid testing has been lowered, which reduces the personal economic burden and increases the people's sense of gain. In early 2020, at the beginning of the epidemic, COVID-19 nucleic acid test kit was in short supply, and the detection price had reached 260 yuan per person. The "value" of nucleic acid testing is very high, especially when it is done by the whole family for many times, which is not a small expense. Novel coronavirus pneumonia guidelines were issued to the medical insurance departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government (hereinafter referred to as the provincial) for the purpose of further improving the COVID-19 inspection capability. For public hospitals to carry out nucleic acid testing services, apply for the establishment of price projects, open up a green channel, and give priority to ensuring that public hospitals improve their testing capacity. At the same time, all localities are required to incorporate COVID-19 nucleic acid detection kit into the platform purchase scope, open the net, and purchase sunlight. A series of policy guarantee measures not only promote the rapid improvement of kit production capacity and nucleic acid detection service capacity, but also highlight the advantages of China's socialist system. From May to June 2020, the national medical insurance bureau began to guide all localities to reduce the price of kits by means of centralized procurement. Hubei, the epicenter of the epidemic, pioneered the first shot of COVID-19 nucleic acid test kit, which was more than 80%. By the second half of 2020, the average price of COVID-19 nucleic acid detection kits has dropped to about 30 yuan in each province, and the medical insurance departments in different provinces have reduced the detection price. Most provinces have reduced the price of single check to public hospitals by about 120 yuan per person. While continuously reducing the price, public hospitals further optimize the detection process, purchase reagent consumables with more appropriate price, and jointly support the guidance of nucleic acid detection price to a reasonable range. "The cost reduction is a good thing for the country and the people. Behind the 'people-friendly' nucleic acid detection price, there is the party's development concept of 'people-centered', which shows the government's role in epidemic prevention and control." The relevant person in charge of the National Medical Insurance Bureau said. Before the Spring Festival in 2021, the relevant departments clearly required that the nucleic acid test certificate be required for returning home during the Spring Festival. The national medical insurance bureau started the first round of national joint adjustment of medical service prices, linked up and down with local medical insurance bureaus, and dispatched at any time. The joint adjustment goal was achieved in just one week. The price of single person single inspection in public hospitals in all provinces was reduced to less than 80 yuan per person, It reduces the burden of nucleic acid detection for people returning to production and reworking. In July this year, the epidemic situation occurred repeatedly in some provinces and cities, and the National Medical Insurance Bureau immediately launched the second round of national joint adjustment of medical service prices. By the middle of September 2021, the price of single person and single examination in public hospitals in all provinces has been basically reduced to less than 60 yuan per person, and the price of multi person mixed examination has been correspondingly reduced to about 15 yuan per person, which provides great convenience for the flow of people during the "double festival" of the Mid Autumn Festival and the national day. After autumn and winter, the epidemic situation gradually showed a multi-point distribution trend, and the requirements for nucleic acid detection frequency and time of personnel travel were further tightened. In mid November, the National Medical Insurance Bureau deployed the third round of national joint commissioning, requiring all provinces to reduce the testing price of public hospitals before December 15, with no more than 40 yuan per person for single inspection and no more than 10 yuan per person for mixed inspection. On the afternoon of December 5, Ms. Shen, a citizen of Liuzhou, Guangxi, who went to the hospital for nucleic acid testing, said happily after learning the news of the price reduction of nucleic acid testing fees: "because of the work needs, I have done nucleic acid testing many times. Now the testing fees are reduced again, and the results can be released on the same day, which really alleviates my worries." December 5 was the first day of the price reduction of nucleic acid testing in Liuzhou, Guangxi. Liuzhou people's Hospital also specially arranged medical personnel next to the self-service payment machine to guide citizens to check the latest charges for nucleic acid testing. "This round of adjustment will not only provide guarantee for people's travel on New Year's day and Spring Festival, but also provide a better soft environment for the holding of the Winter Olympic Games." The official said. Large scale nucleic acid screening and high-frequency detection are the key means of "external anti input and internal anti rebound". Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, the National Health Insurance Bureau has always adhered to the position of people first, combined with the changes in the prevention and control situation at various stages, and grasped the timing, effectiveness and degree of adjustment, so that the community can experience better and more support for nucleic acid detection and other epidemic prevention measures, and do practical work, solve problems and reduce burdens for the masses.
