Question
My brother’s baby was just born, and since the village was in the process of enrolling in the new rural cooperative medical system at the time, the baby was also enrolled. Now, the baby has jaundice and is currently hospitalized for treatment. Can this situation be reimbursed?
Answer
As long as the newborn is under the new rural cooperative medical system, hospitalization for treatment can be reimbursed. Therefore, when treating the infant, you can show the hospital the new rural cooperative medical proof to facilitate medical reimbursement after the condition is treated. If the newborn has jaundice, timely treatment is necessary. This condition is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice generally does not require special treatment, while pathological jaundice requires blue light therapy for jaundice reduction. This situation is eligible for reimbursement.
