Payment Methods for Palliative Care in China: Current Status, Challenges, and Countermeasures
Abstract
With the accelerated aging of the population and the subsequent increase in cancer incidence, the development of palliative care
services has gradually become a societal hotspot. By analyzing the existing issues in payment methods for palliative care in China, such as
unreasonable division of payment standards, incomplete coverage of beneficiaries and services, and difficulties in ensuring equity in palliative
care benefits, this paper further proposes that the government should expedite the legislative process, improve top-level design, promote the
inclusion of palliative care within the scope of long-term care insurance, enhance the cross-regional settlement system, and increase auxiliary
services and social support.
