Abstract: Paying for TCM according to the value of efficacy is an intrinsic requirement for establishing an effective and efficient diversified medical insurance payment method, and is also an important measure to support the inheritance, innovation and development of TCM. This study used text mining and PMC index model to quantitatively analyze and evaluate the texts of 20 special policies on payment based on efficacy value in TCM. It was found that there were 6 excellent policies, 14 acceptable policies, and there were no undesirable policies or perfect policies; overall, the average policy PMC index was 6.94, and the average provincial policy was 7.06, which was higher than the prefecture-level average of 6.27; the overall quality of special policies of TCM based on efficacy value was relatively high, but there was still much room for improvement in terms of policy timeliness, policy evaluation, policy measures, policy tools, and balance of policy design between provinces and cities.
