According to the Social Insurance (SI) of Region 22, as of June 30, 2025, the regional SI has signed health insurance (HI) medical examination and treatment contracts with 68 health insurance medical examination and treatment facilities and is evaluating to sign new contracts with 4 health insurance medical examination and treatment facilities.

Mr. Le Van Tien - Deputy Director of Social Insurance Region 22 said that the benefits of health insurance participants are increasingly expanded and better guaranteed, access to health insurance examination and treatment services is increasingly convenient, people can access health insurance examination and treatment facilities early, quickly and close to where they live.

The list of drugs, chemicals, and medical supplies at medical examination and treatment facilities is increasingly diverse, meeting the medical examination and treatment needs of the people. Technical services at health insurance medical examination and treatment facilities are increasingly expanding and improving in quality, many new technical services are continuously deployed...

Social Insurance of Region 22 is guiding units in the area to promote propaganda, consultation and answer questions about health insurance policies. In particular, focusing on propagating new and key contents of the amended Law on Health Insurance in 2024, effective from July 1, 2025.

Accordingly, from this July, people can have their health examined and treated at home, remotely and be paid by health insurance, including medicines, medical supplies and reasonable transportation costs in cases of emergency referral or inpatient treatment. This is considered a very humane step, especially for the elderly, people with chronic diseases, people with disabilities or residents in remote areas far from the center.

According to the new regulations, people who have participated in health insurance for 5 consecutive years will have all costs covered by the health insurance fund (within the scope of benefits) if the co-payment costs in the year exceed 6 times the reference level (14.04 million VND).

A very humane new point is that people with serious or rare diseases will have their entire medical examination and treatment costs at specialized facilities covered by health insurance without having to go through administrative procedures as before.

This change helps reduce inconvenience, shorten waiting time, improve treatment efficiency and ensure maximum benefits for patients in the most difficult circumstances.

In addition, people who have registered for temporary residence for 30 days or more in the new locality will be able to receive medical examination and treatment at the right place of residence, without having to return to the original place of registration. This new regulation is consistent with the current reality of labor migration, study and work of the people, and at the same time creates great convenience in accessing timely and appropriate medical services.

Also from July, more vulnerable groups in society have been supported to participate in health insurance, such as village health workers, part-time workers in villages and residential groups, folk artisans and excellent artisans, and victims of human trafficking.

In addition, many groups are granted completely free health insurance cards such as regular militia, people aged 70-75 from near-poor households receiving monthly survivor benefits, people receiving social pension benefits, workers past working age but not yet eligible for pensions...

In addition to the expansion of benefits, the family health insurance payment policy also has more flexible adjustments. Accordingly, the contribution level of each member in the household will gradually decrease according to the number of participants, the second person will pay 70% of the first person's contribution level, the third person will pay 60%, the fourth person will pay 50% and from the fifth person onwards it will only be 40%, helping to reduce the financial burden, especially in areas with difficult economic and social conditions, where large families need to participate in health insurance.
