SUMMARY
- Beijing launched the use of medical social insurance (MSI) via online payments, marking MSI payable among all the 1st tier cities in China. But the policy only covers non-prescription;
- However, the progress for the online penetration of MSI payment was still slow, reaching only 3.6% of all MSI capable pharmacies and 0.8% of all pharmacies in China;
- The reason for the slow adoption is the vested, interlinked interests among local public hospitals, local MSI administrators and public security concerns over drug disbursement.
