1. Types of medical insurance: medical insurance for urban and rural residents, medical insurance for urban workers, new rural cooperative medical insurance and other different types of medical insurance, with different reimbursement policies and proportions.

2. Nature of the hospital: If the Chinese medicine hospital is a designated medical institution for medical insurance, the medical expenses incurred in the hospital within the scope of the medical insurance reimbursement catalogue can be reimbursed by medical insurance.

3. Medical insurance catalogue: Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese patent medicines and Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment items (such as acupuncture, cupping and scrapping) have been gradually included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, but not all Chinese medicines can be reimbursed, so it is necessary to refer to the local medical insurance catalogue.

4. Self-funded projects: some high-end Chinese herbal medicines and treatment projects that are not in the medical insurance catalogue still need to be paid at their own expense.

5. Personal account balance and reimbursement limit: medical insurance reimbursement should also consider personal medical insurance account balance and annual reimbursement limit.
