Patient's question:
My newborn baby seems to have jaundice. Could you please tell me what percentage of the hospitalization cost for newborn jaundice treatment can be covered by the cooperative medical insurance?Doctor's answer:
A baby developing jaundice within the first 7 days of birth is commonly referred to as physiological jaundice, which usually subsides within about two weeks.Hemolytic jaundice: Any disease that can cause hemolysis may lead to hemolytic jaundice.
Jaundice can be treated with medication or blue light therapy depending on the condition. For specific treatment, it is recommended to consult and seek medical attention at a regular hospital's pediatric department. Generally, cooperative medical insurance covers about 70% of inpatient expenses, but the exact details should be consulted with the hospital, as policies may vary by region.
