Medical insurance can reimburse some expenses during artificial liver treatment.

Some expenses during artificial liver treatment can be reimbursed, and the proportion and scope of reimbursement depend on the hospital level and medical insurance level. Hospitalization expenses and some drug expenses can be reimbursed, but specific treatment expenses are usually not fully reimbursed. The proportion of patients' out-of-pocket expenses may exceed 8%, and the expenses increase significantly with the increase of treatment times, and the overall expenses are relatively high.

Indications of artificial liver:

1. It is used to treat acute liver failure, so as to support patients' liver function and strive for the time of liver self-recovery;

2. It can be used to treat chronic severe hepatitis, help alleviate the illness and improve the quality of life of patients;

3. It can improve the ascites of patients with liver cirrhosis.

4. Adjuvant therapy for patients with liver cancer is helpful to improve the survival rate of patients;

5. It can be used for other diseases requiring liver support, such as toxic hepatitis and drug-induced liver injury.

To sum up, although medical insurance can reimburse some expenses during artificial liver treatment, the proportion and scope of reimbursement are affected by hospital level and medical insurance level, and the patient pays more than 8%. With the increase of treatment times, the overall cost is still high, which brings economic burden to patients.
