Patients will be able to “pay after” receiving medical treatment as part of a new payment method, the Ministry of Health revealed yesterday.


Jiao Yahui of the ministry’s medical administration division said more than 20 provincial regions are carrying out pilot programs implementing the pay-after method in public hospitals.

The pay-after method will not be adopted nationwide in the short term due to an immature social credit system and insufficient medical insurance.
