ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the DIP medical insurance settlement situation of neonatology and its influencing factors,to optimize the medical insurance settlement rules of neonatology,and to promote the fine management of payment method reform.Methods:City Y,the pilot city of national DIP payment method,was selected as the case area,and the data of the whole sample of patients in neonatology department of City Y were analyzed by descriptive analysis,four-quadrant bubble chart,and multivariate linear regression methods,combined with qualitative data analysis and interview study.Results:There were 1 372 neonates in City Y in 2022,with a health insurance billing rate of 84.82%and 81.10%in tertiary care facilities.There were 718 unenrolled cases.Tertiary care institutions,not enrolled,low-birth-weight babies,higher days of hospitalization,lower days of birth,and lower settlement scores were the influencing factors for the low rate of health insurance settlement in neonatology(P<0.05).Conclusion:Neonatology medical insurance settlement rate was significantly lower than that of the city,and tertiary care institutions had higher deficits,which may lead to the risk of shirking critically ill neonatal patients.There were problems of insufficient grouping refinement and score distortion in neonatology.Recommendation:We should improve the management and adjustment mechanism of core elements,optimize the DIP grouping of neonatology,comprehensively consider the resource consumption characteristics of neonates,rationally and dynamically adjust the price of neonatal medical services,and scientifically set the neonatology markup coefficients,so as to achieve synergistic improvement in the development of neonatology and health insurance,and to push forward the connotative and refined development of the reform of the payment method of health insurance.
