May I ask, a patient who is in isolation due to COVID has fever symptoms so he/she gets hospitalized for treatment, but did not presented the health insurance card. He/she only read the card number to the health authority, and when the agency looked it up, it was notified by the portal that the number existed. So can the health establishment allow the hospitalized patient to enjoy health insurance coverage?

Answer:

Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms.,

For your case, if you are undergoing COVID-19 isolation requiring hospitalization and treatment, the payment will be implemented as follows:

+ If COVID19 is diagnosed (positive for the COVID test), COVID treatment costs will be covered by the state budget. If you have other illnesses that need treatment, you will be covered by the health insurance fund, in which case you can present your health insurance card before leaving the hospital.

+ In case you get medical treatment but have not yet enjoyed the health insurance benefits because you are isolated and monitored for COVID, after the treatment, you may bring all necessary documents to the social insurance agency where you live for direct payment.
