Question

My newborn baby seems to have jaundice. I want to know how much can the hospitalization treatment for newborn jaundice be claimed under cooperative medical care?

Answer

If a newborn shows jaundice within the first 7 days of life, commonly known as physiological jaundice, it usually resolves within two weeks. Hemolytic jaundice can be treated with medication or phototherapy based on the condition, and specific treatment should be sought through pediatric consultation at a regular hospital. Cooperative medical care generally covers about 70% of hospitalization costs, but specific details are recommended to be consulted with the hospital of consultation, as policies vary by region.
