Lower the price of the new coronavirus nucleic acid mixed test, as low as 15 yuan per person
With the beginning of the Spring Festival, the new coronavirus nucleic acid test has become a standard and rigid demand for people returning home for the New Year.
Recently, many places have begun to lower the price of nucleic acid testing, especially when it is clear that the price of nucleic acid hybrid testing has dropped significantly.
According to incomplete statistics from The Paper, Shanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu and other places have determined or lowered the price of nucleic acid hybrid testing. Provinces including Shaanxi and Fujian have even lowered the price to 15 yuan/time.
The state clarifies that people returning home during the Spring Festival can use 10 in 1 mixed mining technology for testing
On January 27, the State Council’s Comprehensive Team for the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic issued the “Notice on Orderly Conducting Nucleic Acid Testing for Mass Travel during the Spring Festival Transport Period.” The notice emphasized that in accordance with the principle of voluntariness, the nucleic acid of returnees during the Spring Festival Testing can be carried out with 10 in 1 mixed mining technology to reduce the burden of personal testing costs, and timely issue testing reports.
What is nucleic acid mixed mining technology?
(For details, please read "News Release | How Reliable is the "Mixed Inspection" in the Large-scale Whole-Staff Nucleic Acid Testing") Xiao Meng, assistant to the director of the Laboratory Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who has previously participated in the National Anti-epidemic Medical Team in Hubei, is receiving the surging news During the interview, it was explained that the so-called 10-in-1 mixed collection is a group of 10 people during nucleic acid testing and sampling. The 10 swabs corresponding to these 10 people are put into a sample preservation solution and sent to the laboratory for testing. It is called mixed mining.
At present, the method of mixed sampling is adopted in most places for full-staff nucleic acid testing.
During the outbreaks in Wuhan and Beijing last year, mixed harvesting methods were used, and this was also the case in Hebei before.
Mixed mining technology can improve detection efficiency, and can also reduce detection costs for inspectors.
Multiple notices are issued to lower the price of mixed inspection
Based on the guidance of the joint prevention and control mechanism, new policies have been introduced across the country to determine or lower the price of mixed nucleic acid testing.

The price of 5 mixed 1 testing shall not exceed 30 yuan per person, and the price of 10 in 1 mixed mining testing shall not exceed 20 yuan per person. The above prices are the highest guide prices. There is no limit to the floating range.
The price of COVID-19 nucleic acid test per person per test and antibody test remains unchanged.
On February 3, the Shanxi Provincial Medical Security Bureau and the Shanxi Provincial Health Commission issued the "Notice on Setting the Price of New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Hybrid Testing Projects", requiring public medical institutions to implement hybrid testing in accordance with the technical requirements of the health department.

On February 2, the Jiangsu Provincial Medical Security Bureau and the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Price of New Coronavirus-related Testing Items". From 0:00 on February 2, 2021, the new coronavirus nucleic acid mixed inspection The price is set at 20 yuan/time, including reagents and other consumables, and no less than 2 targets are tested each time.
The notice stated that mixed nucleic acid testing is limited to large-scale population screening organized by the government.
According to the official website of the Tianjin Medical Security Bureau and the "Tianjin Release" Weibo news, on January 29, the Tianjin Medical Insurance Bureau and the Municipal Health and Health Commission issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Prices of New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing and Other Medical Service Items", reducing public medical care The price of the agency's new coronavirus nucleic acid test.
After the price adjustment, the maximum price of the five-sample mixed test of the new coronavirus will be lowered from 40 yuan per sample to 30 yuan; the maximum price of the 10-sample mixed test will be lowered from 30 yuan per sample to 20 yuan.
On January 27, the Beijing Municipal Medical Security Bureau and other four departments jointly issued the "Notice on Dynamically Adjusting the Price of New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing Items". Starting from January 28, the price of new coronavirus nucleic acid testing has been adjusted to 80 yuan/time.
In addition, the Beijing Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau clarified that, according to the needs of the epidemic, when implementing mixed testing in accordance with the technical requirements and standards of the municipal health department, 5 samples are mixed for testing, and each sample is charged at no more than 30 yuan; 10 samples for mixed testing, each sample Charges no higher than 20 yuan.
On January 27, the Shaanxi Provincial Medical Security Bureau issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Charges for the New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing Policy in Public Medical Institutions".
