According to statistics, the elderly population aged 65 and above in China accounts for approximately 15.9% of the total population, marking the country's entry into a moderate stage of aging. Many elderly individuals experience limited mobility, making hospital visits a significant challenge for both patients and their families. Consequently, the demand for home-based medical care and on-site services has grown increasingly urgent. Against this backdrop, the National Healthcare Security Administration has uniformly introduced a new pricing item for "home visit fees" in the guideline for setting prices for comprehensive diagnostic and medical services.
Reporters learned that various regions have now coordinated and implemented pricing policies, encouraging medical institutions to provide home-based services for patients who are unable to travel, thereby bringing high-quality medical resources into households.
