Ms. sun is preparing to take the child to carry out the blood type identification, found that the large hospital charge 40 yuan, and the community health service station only charge 5 yuan. In the same appraisal project, the charges of big hospitals are 7 times higher than that of health service stations, which is very surprising to Ms. sun.
recently, the reporter learned from the hospital that although the identification of the same items, but because of different identification methods, there is a large fee gap.
Health Station 5 yuan to identify blood type
Mrs. sun's house near the North Road of Li Shan, her 7 year old son is in school recently to fill out the form, need to know his blood type. In October 16th, Ms. sun first consulted the Banqiao community health service station and learned that the cost of identifying blood groups was 5 yuan. Because the day is Saturday, the service station is temporarily unable to provide services. "The child will soon fill in the form and the result must be obtained. I had to take my child to a large hospital. " Ms. Sun said, after coming to the hospital, the doctor told her that blood group identification needed 40 yuan. She went to the lobby of the first floor of the clinic. She found that the charge of the ABO blood group identification project was 10 yuan through the electronic inquiry system. She consulted the doctor about why the actual fee was inconsistent with the price tag, and the other side did not give her satisfactory explanation.
second days, Ms. Sun took her son to the Huang Tai community health service station in the North Garden Street Office of Tianqiao District, which could provide an appraisal service at the end of the week. In the end, she spent 5 yuan to identify the blood type for her son.
different methods result in price disparity.
"40 yuan" is not much for a family. If I had not consulted the health station before, I must have been accreditation in that hospital. I do not know why there is such a big gap between the charges in the two hospitals. Ms. Sun said she wanted to know the reasons and wanted to remind the public not to spend money wrongly.
at noon on October 19th, the reporter went to the outpatient department of the hospital where Ms. sun went. Through the first floor hall of the electronic inquiry system, the reporter found that the "ABO blood group identification" charges really 10 yuan. However, there is another line which says "ABO blood group identification micro column method plus 30 yuan".
the reporter went to the blood transfusion department to ask for the blood charge standard, and the doctor said the charge was 40 yuan. "Does the electronic inquiry system not show 10 yuan? Why is it 40 yuan?" the reporter asked. "The other 30 yuan is added by the microcolumn method. Now we use machine testing, the total cost is 40 yuan. " The doctor said.
subsequently, the reporter contacted the Tiantai District Beiyuan Street office Huang Tai community health service station. The staff said that only 5 yuan was needed for blood group identification. They use serum reagents to identify and identify methods that may differ from large hospitals.
there is no need to go to the hospital
Liu Xiaoxin, director of the Department of blood transfusion department of the provincial hospital of Qianfo Hill, said that at present, the ABO blood type identification can be used in a variety of ways. Community hospitals used antiserum identification, and large hospitals were identified by microcolumn method. The two methods of identification are different, and the way of operation is different. The cost of identification is quite different. "The former has a higher rate of false detection and error than the latter. Nowadays, the former identification method is no longer used in big hospitals. If the public just wants to know the blood type, the first method is acceptable, but when it comes to surgical blood transfusion, the hospital recommends second identification methods. Liu Xiaoxin said that the second method is more sensitive to blood type and can identify the rare blood type accurately. In view of the responsibility of patients, large hospitals began to popularize micro column identification. The identification fee of 40 yuan is stipulated by relevant departments.
Liu Xiaoxin said that in terms of drug fees and testing fees, provincial hospitals are generally higher than municipal hospitals. If the citizens are suffering from minor ailments and common diseases, there is no need to go to a large hospital for treatment. This can save time and cost.
