Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband has been feeling a bit unwell recently, so we went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said my husband has diabetes and needs to be hospitalized for close observation. Could you please tell me what tests are usually conducted for chronic disease hospitalization in the diabetes department?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes can be processed as a chronic disease. If you manage it as a chronic condition, outpatient medication expenses can receive more compensation. To apply for a chronic disease, it is recommended to first have an outpatient medical record, records of follow-up visits, various test reports, and have at least two experts from the hospital examine and then apply at the medical insurance department. For diabetes patients, the main examinations include fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and other examination data, as well as discharge summaries during hospitalization.
