國家醫保局近日會同財政部、人力資源社會保障部、國家衛生健康委員會聯合印發了《關于做好2018年城鄉居民基本醫療保險工作的通知》。

A unified national medical insurance service, from which both urban and rural residents enjoy equal benefits, will be in place by 2019, said the state medical insurance administration.
國家醫保局表示，2019年全國范圍內統一的城鄉居民醫保制度將全面啟動實施。

《通知》要求，提高城鄉居民醫保籌資標準。2018年城鄉居民醫保財政補助和個人繳費標準同步提高。

Each citizen receives the minimum 490 yuan from the government in his or her medical insurance account a year on average and is required to deposit 220 yuan from his or her pocket. Both figures are 40 yuan higher than 2017.
各級財政人均補助標準在2017年基礎上新增40元，達到每人每年不低于490元。人均個人繳費標準同步新增40元，達到每人每年220元。

通知明確，鞏固完善異地就醫住院費用直接結算工作（direct settlement of hospitalized expense in places away from one's hometown），妥善解決農民工（migrant workers）和“雙創”人員異地就醫問題，為城鄉居民規范轉外就醫提供方便快捷服務，減少跑腿墊資。
