Question
A 10-year-old child in our family has been diagnosed with strabismus and requires surgical treatment. However, the hospital has informed us that the surgery cannot be reimbursed. As a rural household, we would like to know if there is a possibility to obtain the relevant reimbursement through rural cooperative medical insurance.
Answer
Strabismus correction is generally considered a cosmetic surgical procedure and is often not reimbursed. For rural residents facing financial difficulties, they can consider applying to the Red Cross Society for the necessary economic assistance.
