On the same day, the press conference of the National Health Insurance Administration's "National Medical Insurance Code Users Exceed 10 Billion" was held in Beijing. Xie Zhangshu said in response to reporters' questions at the meeting that the medical insurance code is actually an electronic voucher for medical insurance, and the National Health Insurance Bureau officially added the medical insurance code as a working term for the electronic voucher of medical insurance this year, and the popular name is more convenient for the masses to remember.
He introduced that since the launch of the medical insurance code, the medical insurance department has continued to promote the medical insurance code to achieve full-scene, full-process, and nationwide access, and realize the "three changes" of the one-code code for the masses to see a doctor.
Specifically, first of all, the medical insurance department has promoted the use of the medical insurance code from only in the settlement link to the whole process of appointment registration, sign-in, medical treatment, treatment examination, report inquiry, and pharmacy pick-up.
Secondly, the service scope of the medical insurance code has also changed from a separate local to a national one. With the advantages of cross-regional use across the country, the medical insurance code helps the masses to handle the filing of remote medical treatment online and direct settlement by reading cards offline, so as to achieve "more information and less errands for the masses".
Finally, the service function of the medical insurance code has also changed from "usable" to "easy to use". At present, the public's demand for medical insurance services presents a multi-city, diversified, personalized demand, combined with the actual needs of the insured people, the medical insurance department has launched a number of easy-to-use, popular service functions. For example, online consultation, one-click prescription refill, online settlement, delivery of medicine to home, etc. At the same time, in the process of using the medical insurance code, the medical insurance department has also paid attention to the service needs of some groups such as the elderly and minors who are more difficult to apply intelligent technology, effectively integrated traditional services and intelligent methods, launched functions such as family accounts, and increased the offline activation of medical insurance codes and other services in the medical insurance agency, improving the accessibility of medical insurance convenience services.
According to reports, next, the medical insurance department will continue to optimize and improve the application scenarios of the medical insurance code, simplify various services, launch more service applications that the masses love and need, continuously improve the gold content of the medical insurance code one-code pass, and continue to eliminate some of the dead ends of the whole scene, the whole process, and the whole country.
