5. Smooth payment channels. All drug retail units should take the initiative to adopt electronic payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat to facilitate people to purchase drugs. For those who participate in medical insurance, it is necessary to unblock the payment channels for medical insurance card withdrawal and reduce cash payment. The designated pharmacies of chronic disease medical insurance can temporarily include their chain pharmacies in the scope of acceptance of chronic disease drug purchase, and they will settle the chronic disease expenses of medical insurance on their behalf and dispense drugs nearby. If you can't apply for medical insurance reimbursement immediately, you should provide drug invoices and detailed lists to facilitate reimbursement after the insured personnel.
