National Medical Insurance Administration: Promote the application of new technologies, products, and formats to solve urgent problems that the people are worried about.

The National Medical Insurance Administration issued a notice on the 5th, clearly stating that it will support the construction of a number of high-value small incision scenarios to promote the large-scale application of new technologies, new products, and new formats in the medical insurance field, and to address a number of urgent and difficult problems that the masses are concerned about in the medical insurance field. Scenarios are the bridge connecting technology and industry, bridging research and development with the market. The notice explicitly encourages all types of enterprises, universities, research institutes, medical institutions, commercial health insurance institutions, worker mutual aid organizations, charitable organizations, and others that meet the requirements to jointly participate in the application of scenarios in the medical insurance field. By first releasing a list of urgently needed and well-founded scenarios, a number of replicable and scalable benchmark cases will be formed, serving the digital development of medical insurance, and promoting economic and social development through targeted services. Officials from the National Medical Insurance Administration stated that by publicly listing the urgent issues faced by the masses in the medical insurance field, and encouraging relevant parties to jointly solve these problems, the level of medical insurance services will be improved. For example, focusing on scenarios where people pay for medical treatment, efforts will be made to promote facial recognition payments, one-touch payments, mobile payments, and credit payments, attracting medical and financial institutions to jointly participate, and providing the public with a more diverse and convenient payment method, thereby offering a better medical experience.
