Abstract:
Objective:This paper designs to analyze the status of catastrophic disease medical assistance in A and B regions, and put forward feasible suggestions to improve the medical assistance level and financial effects. Methods:We selected A city at Hubei province and B county at Guizhou province as sample areas, and obtained 872 copies of questionnaires in the field survey. Then, out-of-pocket health expenditure per year, the incidence, and rel-ative gap of catastrophic health expenditure before and after the financial aid were calculated. Results: Catastrophic disease medical assistance plays a limited role in relieving patients' economic burden. Low financial aid rate, narrow range, high deductibles and low ceiling level are responsible for much lower effective financial aid rate. Conclusion:Raise financial aid rate and widen the scope of medical assistance gradually;Establish effective link-up between cata-strophic disease medical assistance and catastrophic disease insurance / basic medical insurance;Put outpatient OOP into the scope of catastrophic disease medical assistance.
