Patient's question:
My child was just born not long ago. Later, we noticed that the child had some jaundice, so we underwent blue light treatment. May I ask if the cost of blue light treatment for newborn jaundice is reimbursable?Doctor's answer:
Usually, newborn jaundice under blue light cannot be compensated, but it is possible to establish a new rural cooperative medical system. Designated medical institutions will submit the list of discharged patients from the previous month, hospitalization certificates, and relevant materials to the medical insurance agency by the 10th of each month. Rural medical insurance is reviewed by the medical insurance agency. If both the mother and child have not been discharged, it will be used as the basis for monthly budgeting and annual final accounts for reimbursement. If the infant is discharged and does not have medical insurance, reimbursement will not be provided.
