3. What are the main contents of the “Guiding Opinions”? A: The main contents of the “Guiding Opinions” mainly include: First, clearly defining the scope of various types of pension institutions. Undercover insurance institutions refer to public pension institutions that fully or mainly accommodate groups such as the elderly in special hardship and the economically disadvantaged elderly. Inclusive support institutions include public construction and public housing institutions for the elderly, as well as social pension institutions that receive government support such as site fee relief or construction and operation subsidies. Other pension institutions are fully market-based institutions. The second is to improve the way prices are managed for old-age services through hierarchical classification. Basic service fees for underwriting insurance institutions are managed at government-guided prices, and free housing policies or related allowances are implemented for the elderly with special hardship and financial difficulties in accordance with regulations, so as to effectively play the basic role of protecting the basics, covering the bottom line, and stabilizing people's livelihood. For basic service fees for inclusive support institutions, public construction and private public construction institutions apply government guidance prices. Social agencies can set reference ranges for fee standards to guide or implement government guidance prices, so that the policy dividends invested by the government can truly be conveyed to the public. Implement market price adjustments for fees charged by fully market-based institutions to encourage high quality and superior prices to meet the diverse needs of the elderly. It is allowed to rationally set fees for integrated medical care services based on increased costs, etc., to motivate institutions, especially public medical institutions, to provide integrated medical care services. For community pension services, market price adjustments are implemented on the principle of 10 or more daycare beds according to the management of pension institutions and 10 or less to meet the needs of the elderly for convenient old-age care nearby. Implement market price adjustment management for home care services, drawing on beneficial empirical practices in some regions. Industry authorities can take the lead in clarifying the reference range of fees for door-to-door service fees and provide guidelines for service agencies to set their own prices. The third is to regulate pricing and charging practices. Establish a catalogue list management system. All fees are included in the list, and no charges are allowed outside of the list. Clarify the principles for setting fee standards, and generally determine the government guide price or fee standard reference range in accordance with the principle of “cost compensation and reasonable profit”. Establish a mechanism for dynamic evaluation and adjustment of fees. In principle, the evaluation period should not exceed 3 years. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the coordination and linkage of price policies with various other support policies to jointly support the development of relevant old-age service models.
