ABSTRACT

Medical insurance is a significant social security system aimed at providing individuals with financial protection for healthcare expenses. Both domestically and internationally, the diversity of payment methods for medical insurance offers people a wider range of choices and security opportunities. Domestically, the main payment methods for medical insurance include social medical insurance, commercial medical insurance, and public medical insurance. Internationally, the payment methods for medical insurance encompass social medical insurance, private medical insurance, and public medical insurance, among others. Different payment methods vary in coverage scope, costs and amounts, freedom and choice, management and regulatory mechanisms, as well as payment efficiency. Therefore, conducting a comparative analysis of domestic and international payment methods for medical insurance is useful for understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various systems, and provides valuable reference for enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the medical insurance system.
