Social capital enters the medical service market right when it needs to find the right entry point

Business Club December 17th News December 3, the State General Office of the State Council forwards the “Opinions on Further Encouraging and Guiding Social Capital to Organize Medical Institutions” (No.58 Document issued by the State Administration of Foreign Affairs [2010], hereinafter referred to as “Article 58”). Gu Hu, a medical industry strategy and financial consultant, believes that the purpose of Circular 58 is to eliminate policy barriers that hinder the development of non-public medical institutions. This will greatly encourage social capital to enter the medical service market. According to relevant media reports, a number of venture capitalists have begun to enter private medical institutions and a wave of investment in private hospitals nationwide is set to start.

Circular 58 eliminates policy obstacles

Statistics show that in 2009, private medical institutions already accounted for 30.06% of medical institutions, but the number of beds only accounted for 5.19% of the total number of beds. Non-public medical institutions are still mainly small-scale operations. The research in the 2010 China Medical Service Industry Investment Research Report released by the Zero2IPO Research Center recently showed that although non-public medical institutions have existed for many years, non-public medical institutions have long-term in many ways in competition with public medical institutions. At a disadvantage: First, in medical security, many non-public medical institutions are not included in the medical insurance system, and the medical expenses incurred cannot be reimbursed to the medical insurance. Secondly, most of the non-public medical institutions' professional technicians cannot participate in the job title evaluation and are difficult to attract. In the year of outstanding medical professionals, the structure of the technical staff of non-public medical institutions was mostly of two big hourglass types—based on newly graduated young students and retirees from public hospitals; once again, the public’s trust in public non-public medical care There is a great deal of distrust in the organization’s medical technology and professional ethics. Therefore, although the number of non-public medical institutions has increased year by year, it is difficult to compete with public medical institutions in terms of institution size, patient resources, and medical technology.

However, with the diversified development of society, the needs of medical professionals are further differentiated. Due to differences in consumption levels, medical habits, and other factors, there is a need for differentiated medical care. The current public hospitals are difficult to meet, which lays the foundation for the development of non-public medical service organizations.

The person in charge of the State Council’s Medical Reform Office pointed out in response to a reporter’s question on encouraging the introduction of social capital for medical treatment. The 58th article proposed six measures to relax the scope of access for social capital to medical institutions:

The first is to encourage and support social capital in organizing various types of medical institutions. Social capital can, on the basis of business objectives, independently bid for profit-making or non-profit medical institutions, and register and administer according to law.

The second is to adjust and add new medical and health resources to give priority to social capital, and to formulate and adjust regional health plans, plans for setting up medical institutions, and other medical and health resource allocation plans, so as to leave reasonable space for non-public medical institutions. When it is necessary to adjust and add new medical and health resources, priority should be given to organizing medical institutions from social capital, subject to the criteria for admission.

The third is to reasonably determine the scope of practice of non-public medical institutions to ensure that the scope of practice of non-public medical institutions is compatible with the service capabilities they possess.

The fourth is to encourage social capital to regulate participation in restructuring of public hospitals. We have guided social capital to participate in the reform of public hospitals, including hospitals run by state-owned enterprises, in various ways. We have actively and steadily converted some public hospitals into non-public medical institutions and moderately reduced the proportion of public hospitals.

Fifth, to further expand the opening of medical institutions to the outside world, to adjust the organization of overseas capital medical institutions from current restrictions to permitted types of foreign-invested projects, and to gradually phase out the restrictions on the number of shares held by foreign capital for medical institutions. Foreign-owned foreign-funded medical institutions shall pilot and gradually open.

Sixth, the approval procedures for foreign-funded medical treatment are simplified and standardized. The approval authority for the establishment of Chinese-foreign joint ventures and cooperative medical institutions is devolved from the state to the provincial level. The establishment of a wholly foreign-owned medical institution shall be approved by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Commerce.

In order to further improve the practice environment for the organization of social capital for the organization of medical institutions, Circular 58 also proposes a series of incentive measures, which mainly include the implementation of non-public medical institution price and taxation policies in accordance with the nature of operations, and the enjoyment of non-profit medical institutions organized by social capital. The same taxation and pricing policies as those of public medical institutions; the inclusion of eligible non-public medical institutions in the designated area of ​​medical insurance, and non-public medical institutions that implement government-provided medical services and drug price policies are in compliance with relevant provisions of medical insurance, etc. It is included in the scope of fixed-point services and implements the same payment or reimbursement policies as those of public medical institutions. It is not allowed to apply the nature of the investment entity as a medical institution's application for verification of the medical insurance fixed-point institution; and to improve the employment environment and academic environment of non-public medical institutions. Medical personnel are encouraged to move reasonably between public and non-public medical institutions. The academic status and job title assessment of medical personnel are not affected by changes in the workplace. Non-public medical institutions enjoy equal treatment with public medical institutions in terms of qualification evaluation of technical titles, tendering of scientific research projects and appraisal of achievements, clinical key disciplines, clinical teaching bases of medical colleges and other qualifications. All medical industry associations, academic organizations, and medical institution evaluation committees must equally participate in the participation of non-public medical institutions; support non-public medical institutions in the deployment of large-scale equipment, and plan and adjust large-scale medical equipment deployment plans in local areas should fully consider local non-public medical institutions. The development needs, reasonable reserve space and so on.

Capital intervention needs to identify entry points

Li Wei, vice president of Beijing Century Medical Investment Group believes that in the context of such a policy, social capital can be justified when it enters the medical service market. Specifically, social capital can choose several entry points to enter the medical service market:

The first is a specialist specialty. From the point of view of supply and demand, the departments that are of particular concern in the specialty specialties are paediatrics (According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, the use rate of beds in children's hospitals in 2008 reached 100.5%, ranking first in all kinds of specialty hospitals), followed by the oral cavity. , ophthalmology and so on. From the perspective of differentiated positioning with public medical institutions, areas of concern include obstetrics and gynecology, plastic surgery, physical examination, and health management. For example, Aier Ophthalmology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003. Currently, the company has set up 22 chain eye hospitals in 15 provinces (municipalities directly under the Central Government) in China. It has become the largest eye chain clinic in China with the largest number of physicians and the fastest development rate. With a total volume of 796,400 person-times and a surgical volume of 90,000 cases, it ranks first in the industry in the country, with a turnover of 600 million yuan and a tax payment of 46.81 million yuan. In 2009, Aier Ophthalmology was successfully listed on the Shenzhen GEM, and the company became the first in the country. Home-listed companies that have issued initial public offerings.

The second is community medical care. The establishment of a “multiple medical treatment system in the community, first-hand consultation, two-way referral” to improve the uneven distribution of medical resources is one of the priorities of this medical reform. The number of community medical institutions is also growing rapidly in recent years, and social capital has entered the community medical field. Access should be in the form of chain community medical services. According to a spot check of Chongqing community medical institutions, the public community hospitals are off duty at 5:30 in the afternoon, and private community hospitals are closed at 12 o'clock in the evening. The degree of concern of nearby residents is significantly higher than that of public community hospitals.

The third is high-end medical care. The demand for medical services for wealthy people and foreigners in China is often difficult to satisfy in public hospitals. This type of patient either enjoys overseas medical insurance or is completely insensitive to price, but has high requirements for service quality and privacy, or needs multilingual services. In addition to meeting the requirements of customers for quality of service and privacy, high-end medical service institutions targeted at expatriates should also have the qualifications of contractual hospitals for several overseas insurance companies. As the first foreign-invested hospital in China, Beijing Hejia Hospital can provide medical services in Mandarin, English, French, German, Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, Persian and many Chinese dialects, and can provide 24-hour translation services. At present, the hospital has established direct settlement relations with a number of international and domestic insurance companies, which means that the Yujia Hospital can claim on behalf of the patient from the insurance company and can directly handle the insurance company's medical bills.
