Medical assistance refers to giving a certain amount or proportion of assistance to the poor in the process of disease diagnosis and utilization of medical services according to the patient's disease burden. The form of assistance can be cash compensation from the medical assistance department (Ministry of Civil Affairs), or a certain amount or proportion of medical service fees paid by medical institutions in advance, and the civil affairs department and medical institutions will make accounting compensation. The compensation of civil affairs departments to medical institutions belongs to the type of indirect assistance. Although the compensation time is usually after the completion of medical services (usually monthly or quarterly compensation), as far as medical assistance recipients are concerned, they get medical services directly after exempting part of the expenses, and their compensation can be realized during the implementation of medical services. With the continuous improvement of various medical insurance systems in China, it has become the development trend of China's medical assistance system in the future to subsidize poor residents to participate in the corresponding medical insurance and provide secondary assistance when participating in the insurance payment.
