Vietnamese government adds more people to get government-funded health insurance |
The Government has just issued Decree 75/2023/ND-CP amending and supplementing some articles of the Decree No. 146/2018/ND-CP guiding measures to implement the Health Insurance Law.
In particular, the government’s Decree 75/2023/ND-CP supplements a group of people covered by the State budget for health insurance. Accordingly, people who are eligible for government-funded health insurance are residents revolutionary-base zones during the resistance war against the French and the US with updated information in the National Population Database.
In addition, the decree has also added several special groups that are supported by the state budget for health insurance premiums. They include a number of ethnic minorities living in difficult and mountainous areas.
At the same time, the decree amends and supplements the rights of healthcare facilities in implementing health insurance for medical examination and treatment contracts.
