Why does the hospital charge registration fees?

An article by "Changchun China", a well-known netizen in Zhengzhou, on Weibo last night attracted the attention of netizens: "When I come to the emergency room for a severe cold, the registration fee is actually 20 yuan. It used to be 5 yuan. Everyone Let me tell you, after the medical reform, do you feel that medical expenses have increased or decreased? "

It costs 20 yuan to treat a cold, which is four times more than before. So is the new medical reform bringing about these things that are not good in the eyes of others? This may not be the case.

One of the biggest features of this medical reform is that the registration fee will be canceled and turned into a diagnosis and examination fee. From the perspective of ordinary people, even if the name is changed, the things we do are still the same, right?

Some analysts in the industry believe that the focus of this reform is to adjust the price of medical services, including canceling the drug markup policy (except for traditional Chinese medicine pieces), reducing the price of large-scale equipment inspections and inspections, and improving the skills of medical staff. Project price of labor value. To put it in layman's terms, seeing a doctor is expensive, but taking medicine is cheap.

This time, the diagnosis fees are divided into Western medicine diagnosis fees, TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment fees, emergency diagnosis fees, and hospitalization diagnosis fees. Different expert levels have different corresponding examination fees.

The registration fee was "upgraded" to a consultation fee, and the price more than doubled. Many outpatients complained that medical treatment was more expensive. However, for patients with chronic diseases who take medicine all year round, this medical reform allows them to save money every year. I spent a lot of money on medication.

In the eyes of netizens, they are generally full of confidence in the benefits brought by this medical reform. For example, netizen I5239 said, "There is nothing wrong, the MRI has dropped by more than 100, and the test fees are also less. Even if the surgery fee has increased Don’t worry, the surgery fee is included in the medical insurance catalog and is covered by reimbursement. Who else would be hospitalized every day for surgery?” Netizen Biqi Qiyao said, “The purpose of this reform is not to reduce medical care. Fees are a redistribution within the medical system. We used to rely on medicine to support medical care, but we plan to change it to using technology to support medical care."

Netizen Qiao Qiao expressed his dissatisfaction, "Drug prices have dropped by 1 to 1. The price ranges from 2 yuan, and then the doctor's morning inspection of the ward has increased from 6 yuan to 12 yuan. The bed fee has also increased by one-third, and the daily temperature measurement has also increased. I don't know what the reduction is, I only know the overall cost. Expenditure is too much.”

So what do you think of the increase in medical examination fees under the new medical reform?
