23 the message says, Beijing residents healthy check-up will submit an expense account by medical insurance. The human resource and social security bureau 23 to clarify, check-up charge can't medical insurance reimbursement, Beijing by human social security bureau there are no relevant plans, and think check-up charge should be made by public health to assume. (August 24 new andmorecomfortable ")

From a medical professional and economic terms, the healthy check-up is definitely a "spend a few money, the utility of the great", through the examination to nip in the bud, can avoid some patients is ignored, so that as soon as possible treatment, both can reduce the risk of illness impact on health, also can efficiently save medical resources. The data shows: do the healthy check-up every year spent his life of medical treatment charge account for only 1/5 of the do not. Prevention accords with modern health principle, as well as medical and health the guiding principle.

See the from abroad, free medical examinations, is not only a kind of citizens should enjoy basic rights, more key is the medical system as an important part of the health care system, and became an important sign of the sound. At the same time, along with the deepening of the reform of medical care system, the realization of the free medical examinations and hard to avoid. From this point, the Beijing municipal human resource and social security bureau, in addition to the clarification push against too outside, more I'm afraid is based on physical examination and medical knowledge are biased, and its completely apart.

Influenced by traditional habit, including functional departments, a lot of people, and for the healthy physical examination and treatment of diseases, the relationship between the formation of integration, not know heavy medical in the notion of the light. Many people if not appear serious disease, a few went into hospital doctors face. But the problem is, once appear this kind of discomfort, the illness is already for a long time, who may now latent was quite late. Like the liver disease, because of its strong alternative, such as not to healthy check-up blood found the problem, and early spot is hard to come by, once appear symptoms may to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer degree. If in routine check-up before, the liver lesions may be soon detection.

For functional departments for, not rule out such thinking. The main function of the medical insurance bureau is to fulfill the management of medical insurance cost, the related departments, it seemed, health care coverage only for treatment to prevent link links, and the medical examination, belong to "beyond" use of the public health functions, is the offside. So there are "check-up charge may not by the definition of the medical insurance to submit an expense account.

In fact, this statement, exposed the two known problems, on the one hand, will the prevention and treatment of separates completely, the function of treatment is emphasizing only, but not actually is also a kind of first medical treatment, it is a kind of treatment more effective than the health security ways and the way. Since the examination and treatment in both on purpose, so consistent in the nature and nature should be no different. On the other hand, emphasize the funds of the specificity is no problem, but can't because to produce exclusive. In fact, whether public health funds, or medical security funds, actually all was the public financial burden, different is just management department different ways.

Reality is level, will the medical expense reimbursement for free in a more practical operability. On the one hand, the individual part of medical insurance card, a lot of people use to buy other items, formed in fact of the waste of resources. And this part of, actually can through the physical examination to achieve reduction function. On the other hand, with the aid of the platform and sound medical insurance trust the resources advantage, will physical examination and health care, the more easy to let people link rights are protected. From the reference to chengdu and yunnan to the far, "a free health check-up", is the test the new rural cooperative medical insurance and medical insurance for urban residents out.

The technical level and the system design, "a" is not difficult to achieve free medical examinations. But this need to change the way medical service as a prerequisite, physical examination into the health care plan exposed cognitive save deviation, when it is at present the most need to solve the key problem. Set up the "savings", let the public health multi-form extends to the concept of the disease have, functional departments should make a difference.
