Legal analysis: As patients and hospitals, there are three choices, namely, consultation and mediation, technical appraisal of medical malpractice and litigation. Consultation and mediation refers to the fact that doctors and patients discuss the damage that may have happened, and reach an agreement on the amount of compensation under the auspices of relevant intermediaries according to the damage facts and relevant regulations. The technical appraisal of medical malpractice is mainly under the auspices of the medical malpractice appraisal Committee, and the relevant experts identify the facts of medical damage, clarify the specific responsibilities, and make a compensation conclusion. Litigation refers to a medical injury case in which a patient submits his own litigation request to the people's court and claims that the medical unit should bear the corresponding responsibility.
Legal basis: Article 34 of the Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents can charge appraisal fees for technical appraisal of medical accidents. If it is identified as a medical accident, the appraisal fee shall be paid by the medical institution; If it is not a medical accident, the appraisal fee shall be paid by the party applying for medical accident treatment. The appraisal fee standards shall be formulated by the competent price departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in conjunction with the financial departments and health administrative departments at the same level.
