At present, the cost of PET-CT examination has not been completely unified in China, and PET-CT is divided into general examination and local examination. China and Shanghai have the lowest cost of PET-CT inspection, and are the only cities in China with uniform prices. The whole body examination is 7000 yuan and the local examination is 4000 yuan. The total cost of PET-CT examination in Beijing is 9000- 13000 yuan, and the local cost is 6000- 10000 yuan. The cost of inspection in other areas is similar to that in Beijing.

Can the cost of PET-CT examination be reimbursed if it is so expensive?

The price of PET-CT examination seems to be relatively expensive, and more and more patients are concerned about the medical insurance of PET-CT examination. At present, the cost of PET-CT examination has not been included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, but don't worry, PET-CT examination is not completely self-funded. An imaging agent should be injected before PET-CT examination, and the cost of this imaging agent can be reimbursed. Therefore, some hospitals divide the cost of PET-CT examination into two lists, namely, the cost of PET-CT examination and the cost of imaging agent. Therefore, the expenses of the developer can be reimbursed, and it can be said that the PET-CT inspection is partially reimbursed.

PET-CT physical examination is more expensive, but it is cost-effective, and it can be partially reimbursed in some hospitals, which is very worth doing.
