With the current medical reform, many hospitals in Beijing have increased their medical service fees and eliminated drug markups. For the people the former can be simply understood as the registration fee for outpatient clinics, 42 yuan for a general number, 60 yuan for an associate chief physician, and 80 or 100 yuan for a chief physician. In the face of this round of price increases, many patients choose the cheaper general number. In fact, from a professional’s point of view, I still recommend that you choose a specialist number for the first visit, the advantage is that experts with experience can do targeted tests and reduce the number of repeated visits. Secondly, the time allotted to the patient at each visit is guaranteed, and the rich medical history collected is conducive to making a clear diagnosis. Thirdly, the time of the specialist’s visit is fixed, which is beneficial to the patient’s follow-up. Although the price difference of a few tens of dollars brings more benefits than that for sure. Of course, for some common diseases, it is not recommended to come to Beijing, because the current level of medical care is similar everywhere!
