Cardiovascular treatment cost support program at Vinmec

(Dan Tri) - Vinmec Healthcare System has just announced a breakthrough support program, combining three cardiovascular treatment subsidy policies to optimize costs and improve access to high-quality medical services for patients.

Cost - a major barrier to intensive cardiovascular treatment

According to statistics from the health sector, the cost of treating complex cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, severe heart failure or heart valve diseases can amount to hundreds of millions of dong. Especially for cases requiring intensive intervention such as heart valve replacement, coronary stent placement or open heart surgery, the cost of treatment often exceeds the ability of many families to pay.

For low-income families, the issue of paying for specialized testing or surgery is a big challenge. There are many cases where patients have to choose between continuing treatment or stopping because they cannot bear the financial pressure.

This not only affects the patient's health but also puts heavy psychological pressure on the family, easily leading to a spiral of debt. Therefore, financial support policies or treatment cost support programs are necessary.

Vinmec's treatment subsidy program: New hope for cardiovascular patients

In order to help cardiovascular patients overcome financial barriers and access high-quality medical services, Vinmec has implemented a policy of triple subsidy for cardiovascular surgery and intervention. This policy includes maximum health insurance payment, Vinmec's own subsidy program, and special support for families in difficult circumstances.

With the dedication of a team of leading medical experts, Vinmec not only provides high-quality cardiovascular treatment services but also supports costs to reduce the burden on patients.

Enjoy full health insurance benefits: currently, patients coming to Vinmec enjoy health insurance benefits according to state regulations. Specifically, Vinmec is covered by insurance, patients do not need a referral letter to enjoy health insurance benefits for inpatient treatment, intervention and surgery at Vinmec, as well as payment is applied to many items: surgical supplies, interventions (heart valves, artificial blood vessels, artificial lungs, coronary stents, intravascular ultrasound, ...), drugs, tests, functional examinations ...

For cardiovascular intervention services: Vinmec offers a subsidy policy for cardiovascular intervention services to help patients access treatment methods at a better cost. Vinmec subsidizes 50% of the cost of coronary artery stenting, aortic stenting, peripheral vascular intervention, percutaneous aortic valve replacement, congenital heart disease intervention, and many other complex intervention techniques.

50% subsidy for cardiovascular surgery: for cardiovascular surgery services, Vinmec applies a policy of subsidizing 50% of the cost of heart surgery, including surgery to repair congenital heart disease, heart valve surgery, coronary artery, aorta, and many other complex surgeries.

100% cost support for patients in difficult circumstances: putting patients as the top priority, Vinmec has implemented a program to subsidize 100% of the total cost of cardiovascular surgery for patients who cannot afford the treatment costs. This demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility and a humanitarian mission in healthcare.

Hearts saved thanks to Vinmec's fully funded program

The effectiveness of the program has been demonstrated through many successful treatments. A typical case is a 39-year-old female patient in Nghe An with a history of rheumatic heart disease leading to severe heart failure. Five years ago, the patient had surgery to replace a biological mitral valve, a biological aortic valve, and repair a tricuspid valve at another medical facility.

Recently, the patient experienced persistent fatigue even while resting, accompanied by atrial fibrillation after surgery. The patient's health check-up results showed that both of the patient's artificial valves had severely degenerated, with severe heart failure.

The patient was scheduled for a second surgery to replace both artificial valves, which was more difficult than the first surgery as the heart adhesions had to be removed and the heart stem had to be expanded. Recognizing the complexity of the patient's condition and the difficult circumstances, Vinmec sponsored the entire cost of surgery and treatment. Thanks to that, the patient's surgery was successful, bringing a healthy heart and happiness to the whole family.

Vinmec's cardiovascular disease treatment subsidy program has brought about practical impacts that have helped change the lives of many patients and their families.

By funding 100% of the costs for patients in difficult circumstances and providing maximum support for cases requiring medical intervention, the program not only demonstrates a commitment to improving the quality of cardiovascular treatment in Vietnam but also demonstrates a humanitarian mission in medicine: bringing high-quality treatment opportunities to all people in society.
