How much does jaundice treatment cost?

Neonatal jaundice is treated with blue light at 2 yuan per hour (the standard of a tertiary hospital). There are other costs for hospitalization. If the newborn is within 10 days of birth and has only jaundice without other special circumstances, the cost of hospitalization for one week is generally around 1,500-2,000 yuan. Neonatal jaundice is treated with diet therapy, which can reduce costs.

Individual situations vary

For some people, the causes of illness are not too complicated, the onset time is relatively short, and they actively cooperate with the treatment, the course of treatment is short, and they recover quickly, so the cost of treatment is much less; for some patients, the onset time is long, the causes are relatively complicated, and they do not cooperate with the treatment. Some even lose confidence in the treatment, and the treatment effect will be affected. The treatment time is long, and the effect is not very good, which increases the cost of treatment.

Differences in treatment hospitals

The prices offered by small roadside clinics may be very low, which are constantly tempting you, but this may not be a good thing for patients. The human body is relatively fragile, and many examination instruments are only available in large hospitals. Small clinics simply make a diagnosis based on visual and digital examinations, which is obviously irresponsible to patients, and the various fees added up are not small. When seeing a doctor, what matters is the efficacy. It is safer to go to a regular, professional, and specialized hospital to treat the disease.

Medical insurance reimbursement costs vary

For those who cannot use medical insurance, the fees are slightly higher; for those who can use medical insurance, the burden is much lighter. This is common sense. Generally, tertiary hospitals are designated medical insurance hospitals. The charging prices are set and strictly supervised by the Municipal Price Bureau, Municipal Health Bureau and other institutions. The hospital lobby has a price announcement. Everything from registration, examination to treatment will be announced on the patient's payment slip, making the price details transparent so that every patient can see a doctor clearly and spend clearly.
