Patient's question:
Brother's baby just gave birth. Because the baby was born at the same time when the village was registering for the new rural cooperative medical insurance, the baby was also registered for it. Now the baby has jaundice and is hospitalized for treatment. I want to ask if this situation can be reimbursed?Doctor's answer:
As long as the newborn is covered under the new rural cooperative medical system, hospitalization and treatment can be reimbursed. Therefore, when treating the infant, you can present the new rural cooperative certificate to the hospital so that medical reimbursement can be processed after the condition is treated. If the newborn has jaundice, it must be treated promptly. This condition is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice generally does not require special treatment, while pathological jaundice needs blue light therapy to reduce the jaundice. This situation is eligible for reimbursement.
