National Network For Medical Insurance Settlement

An executive meeting of the State Council, China's Cabinet, on Wednesday, decided to further deepen healthcare reform.

One of the reforms is to build a national network for basic health insurance settlement so that citizens nationwide can reimburse their medical expenses in different areas around the country.

In a survey launched by the Central People's Government Website during the annual sessions of its top legislature and advisory body this year, "promoting a national network of basic health insurance settlement" ranked top of people's concerns.

At present, domestic medical insurance policies are only valid regionally, which causes many difficulties for ordinary people. A national network of basic health insurance settlement will make it more convenient for people to access hospital treatment nationwide.
