At a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council today, Li Tao, deputy director of the National Health Insurance Administration, said that currently, the list of basic medical insurance drugs has been unified throughout the country, but it is still up to each province to determine which medical service items and medical consumables can be reimbursed. When people seek medical treatment, some medical service programs may be reimbursed in some provinces, but not in others. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, efforts will be made to promote the unification of medical service programs and medical consumables reimbursement catalogues across the country to further reduce policy differences between regions.
