Patients who procure medicines and medical equipment with their own resources are required to fully meet certain official conditions in order to receive reimbursement under health insurance coverage.

Health Insurance Coverage and Reimbursement Conditions

Not all expenditures for medicines or medical equipment purchased independently by patients are directly included under health insurance coverage.

In order for costs to be covered by the insurance, it is mandatory to fully satisfy specific legal criteria.

Legal Regulations and Decree Conditions

Reimbursements regarding direct costs are only made if the conditions specified in the relevant articles of Decree No. 188/2025/ND-CP are met.

The conditions set forth in Articles 58, 59, and 60 of the relevant decree constitute the basic framework for insurance payments.
