In 2021, 80.638 million people in Jiangsu were covered by basic medical insurance, accounting for more than 98% of the total population.
86% and 72% of hospitalization expenses were reimbursed according to employee medical insurance and resident medical insurance policies. The centralized drug procurement plan has led to a significant drop in the prices of more than 240 drugs and more than 2,000 kinds of consumables, saving more than 18 billion yuan, and greatly reducing the medical burden for the people. Jiangsu will continue to improve the medical insurance system this year by carrying out 2 rounds of centralized procurement drugs and 2 rounds of centralized procurement of consumables, and build 132 "15-minute medical insurance service circle" demonstration sites at the provincial level and about 350 demonstration sites at the municipal level.
