Wuhan Tongji Hospital myopic surgery expenses and whether medical insurance reimbursement

Myopia has become one of the common vision problems of modern people. In order to get rid of the shackles of glasses or contact lenses, many people choose to undergo myopia surgery to improve their vision. Wuhan Tongji Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital, which also provides myopia surgery services. The following will elaborate on this from two aspects: surgery costs and medical insurance reimbursement.

Operation expenses

The cost of myopia surgery is an important issue for patients. Different surgical methods and hospitals will have an impact on the cost of surgery. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, the cost of myopia surgery is relatively reasonable. Generally speaking, the cost of laser surgery is between 3000 and 5000 yuan, while the cost of implant lens surgery is about 5000 to 10000 yuan. The specific cost will vary depending on the patient's vision. Wuhan Tongji Hospital will provide detailed cost consultation, and patients can make choices according to their own conditions.

At the same time, it should be noted that the cost of surgery does not include the cost of follow-up visits and drugs. These costs need to be paid by patients additionally, so comprehensive calculation is required when considering the surgery costs.

Medical insurance reimbursement

Whether medical insurance can be used to reimburse the cost of myopia surgery is a common concern of patients. According to China's medical insurance policy, reimbursement for myopia surgery is not common. Even if some regions or special circumstances can be reimbursed, the proportion of reimbursement is low. Therefore, in most cases, patients need to bear the cost of surgery.

However, there may be some special policies or regulations in different regions and hospitals, so patients should consult the relevant personnel of the local medical insurance department or Wuhan Tongji Hospital before choosing surgery to understand the specific medical insurance policies and reimbursement.

Other expenses and precautions

In addition to the surgery expenses and medical insurance reimbursement, patients also need to consider some other expenses and precautions after surgery.

The first is the cost of follow-up after surgery. Usually, patients need to have a certain re examination after surgery. These re examination fees may need to be paid additionally, so the relevant regulations of the hospital should be consulted before the operation.

The second is the cost of medicine after surgery. After surgery, some eyedrops or antibiotics may be used to promote healing. These drug costs also need to be borne by patients themselves.

In addition, the diet and living habits before and after surgery also need the attention of patients. The doctor will give specific guidance and precautions before the operation, and the patient should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations to ensure the maximum effect of the operation.

Summary

Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides myopic surgery and the cost of surgery is relatively reasonable, but the cost of surgery generally does not include the cost of follow-up visits and drugs after surgery. As far as medical insurance reimbursement is concerned, China's medical insurance policy currently has less reimbursement for myopia surgery, and patients need to bear their own expenses. Before choosing surgery, patients should understand the local medical insurance policy, and comprehensively consider the surgery costs and other related costs and precautions.
