The reimbursement rate for cancer insurance varies according to the cost, with the reimbursement rate being 85% for up to $40,000, 90% for $40,000 to $80,000, and 95% for $80,000 or more. The reimbursement rate also varies from region to region. At present, cancers covered by medical insurance in China include lung cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer and so on. Cancer patients should be clear about whether their disease types are covered by medical insurance when making reimbursement. Cancer reimbursement also includes special assistance and free treatment, and free treatment is more often carried out for childhood leukemia. Special assistance covers more than ten types of cancers such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and so on. Patients can apply for special assistance and enjoy medical assistance treatment, and the reimbursement rate of special assistance after approval can reach about 98%. This can greatly reduce the burden of patients who can afford cancer treatment. For those patients who seek treatment in non-designated hospitals, the state will not provide reimbursement. Therefore, when treating cancer, patients should go to designated hospitals that are covered by medical insurance.
