Is there medical insurance for drug balloons?

Legal analysis: Compared with coronary stent implantation, the cost of drug balloon is relatively high. The cost of domestic stent is about 1 10,000 yuan, but guiding catheter and guide wire need to be implanted. According to the hospital's current domestic stents and surgical methods, the total cost is 30 thousand yuan. Although the drug balloon can reduce the steps of stent implantation, its cost is close to 50 thousand yuan, which is 20 thousand yuan higher than that of domestic stent implantation, but the drug balloon can be reimbursed by medical insurance, and the patient can reach the implant-free index at a cost of1-20 thousand yuan. For some diseases, the clinical prognosis of drug balloon is the same as stent implantation, and non-implantation technology is effective in treating coronary heart disease.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the part of the medical expenses of the insured who should be paid by the basic medical insurance fund shall be directly settled by the social insurance agency, medical institution and pharmaceutical business unit. The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
