Medical insurance networking benefits people in three places

  "After the medical insurance is connected, it will be more convenient for people in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to see a doctor!"

If you want to get the reimbursement money, you often have to wait another half a month.

  In June 2019, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei three places signed the "Cooperation Agreement for the Coordinated Development of Medical Security" to accelerate the direct settlement of outpatient clinics in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

At the beginning of September 2020, 62 designated medical institutions in Tianjin completed the direct settlement test of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei outpatient network and went online smoothly, further expanding the scope of direct settlement hospitals for outpatient medical expenses in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
