[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a medical expense settlement method, a settlement device and a terminal device. The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention simplifies the settlement process and improves the settlement efficiency.

[0042] In order to better understand the settlement method and device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the system architecture applicable to the embodiment of the present invention is described below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a medical expense settlement system disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 In the system architecture shown, the settlement system includes: a settlement device 101, a medical insurance system 102, and a commercial insurance system 103. Among them, medical insurance refers to medical insurance, and commercial insurance refers to commercial insurance. The settlement device 101 communicates with the medical insurance system 102 and the commercial insurance system 103 through the network. Specifically, when the user 100 settles the account through the settlement device 101, the settlement device 101 first obtains the user information, which includes the user identity information and the consumption information; then the settlement device 101 sends the user identity information and the consumption information to the medical insurance system 102, and the medical insurance system 102 determines the amount of medical insurance reimbursement for the user according to the medical insurance policy, the user identity information and the consumption information. After the settlement device 101 obtains the reimbursement information of the user determined by the medical insurance system 102, it sends the user identity information, the medical insurance reimbursement information, and the consumption information to the commercial insurance system 103, which is a system corresponding to the commercial insurance business in which the user has participated in the insurance and the user requests to obtain the commercial insurance claim at the same time; the commercial insurance system 103 queries the user's insurance information according to the user's identity information, and specifically, determines the commercial insurance claim amount according to the user's insurance contract, consumption information and the medical insurance reimbursement information, and the settlement device 101 obtains the commercial insurance claim information determined by the commercial insurance system 103; finally, the settlement device 101 determines the amount that the user should pay according to the consumption information, the social insurance reimbursement information and the commercial insurance claim information. Since the amount paid by the user has already deducted the social insurance reimbursement fees and commercial insurance claims fees, the user does not need to advance the relevant fees and then go to the social insurance agency and the commercial insurance claims agency to obtain the advanced fees. Therefore, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention simplifies the medical expenses settlement process and improves the medical expenses settlement efficiency.

[0043] based on Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the medical expense settlement system shown in FIG. 1 discloses a medical expense settlement method. Figure 2A , Figure 2A FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for settling medical expenses disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2A As shown, the method for settling medical expenses may include the following steps.

[0044] 201. Obtain user information of a user to be paid, where the user information includes user identity information and consumption information.

[0045] In some possible implementations, the identity information of the user to be paid can be obtained through a collection device; and the consumption information of the user to be paid can be obtained from a database based on the identity information. For example, the user's medical insurance card can be scanned by a scanning device, the user's identity information can be read from the medical insurance card, and then the user's consumption information can be searched based on the user's identity information. The consumption information may include the user's treatment expenses, examination expenses, medical expenses, etc. It should be noted that, based on the social security policy of the user's region, the insurance information, the user's consumption information, and the user's participation in commercial insurance, the expenses included in the consumption information may include the part that can be reimbursed by social insurance and the part that can be claimed by commercial insurance.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the user may hold a medical record with personal information such as name written on it, and the staff may enter the name and other personal information displayed on the medical record into the settlement terminal based on the name on the medical record, and search for the user's consumption information recorded in the database based on the input personal information.

[0047] In some possible implementations, the user identity information may also be the user's biometric information such as the user's fingerprint information and / or facial information. The settlement system stores the user's biometric information collected in advance. During settlement, after obtaining the user's biometric information, the user identification bound to the biometric information, such as the social security card number, is determined by comparing it with the saved user's biometric information.

[0048] 202. Send the user identity information and the consumption information to a medical insurance system.

[0049] After receiving the user's identity information, the medical insurance system searches for the user's insurance information based on the user's identity information. The medical insurance system determines the amount of expenses that can be reimbursed by the medical insurance in the consumption information corresponding to the settlement of the user by the medical insurance based on the medical insurance policy, the user's insurance information and the consumption information. For example, the user's identity information can be a social security card number. After the medical insurance system obtains the social security card number, it searches the database for the insurance information of the user corresponding to the social security card number. For example, the type of social insurance that the user participates in can be determined, and social insurance includes basic medical insurance for urban employees, basic medical insurance for urban residents and new rural cooperative medical care.

[0050] 203. Obtain the reimbursement expense information of the user corresponding to the user identity information fed back by the medical insurance system.

[0051] Among them, the reimbursement expense information includes the amount that can be reimbursed by medical insurance from the expenses included in the corresponding consumption information when medical insurance settles accounts with users.

[0052] 204. Send the user identity information, the reimbursement expense information, and the consumption information to a commercial insurance system, where the commercial insurance system is a system corresponding to the commercial insurance business in which the user to be paid has participated and the user to be paid requests to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously.

[0053] Commercial insurance refers to profitable medical insurance operated by insurance companies. Based on the principle of voluntary participation, users pay a certain amount of insurance premiums, and when encountering major diseases, they can obtain a certain amount of commercial insurance claims from the insurance company. Understandably, if a user purchases multiple commercial insurances and requires simultaneous access to multiple commercial insurance claims, the user's identity information, reimbursement expense information, and consumption information are sent to each commercial insurance system that needs to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously.

[0054] 205. Obtain the commercial insurance claim information determined by the commercial insurance system according to the insurance contract of the user to be paid.

[0055] Commercial insurance usually includes many types. Different types of commercial insurance usually have different claims for users. Commercial insurance includes: major disease insurance, high-incidence major disease insurance, hospitalization compensatory insurance, accidental medical insurance, etc. Understandably, if a user purchases multiple commercial insurances and requests to obtain claims for multiple commercial insurances simultaneously, the aggregated claim information of the request to obtain claims for multiple commercial insurances simultaneously.

[0056] 206. Determine the amount that the user to be paid should pay based on the consumption information, the reimbursement expense information, and the commercial insurance claim information.

[0057] The amount to be paid by the user to be paid is determined based on the consumption information, the reimbursement information, and the commercial insurance claim information, including: the balance after deducting the amount of reimbursement from the amount of consumption and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined as the amount to be paid by the user to be paid, the consumption amount is determined by the consumption information, the amount of reimbursement is determined by the reimbursement information, and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined by the commercial insurance claim information.

[0058] By adopting the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the amount to be paid by the user can be determined according to the consumption information, medical insurance reimbursement information, and commercial insurance claim information during settlement. The technical solution processes both medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claims during settlement. After settlement, the user no longer needs to take the consumption receipt to the commercial insurance company for commercial insurance claims, which simplifies the process and improves efficiency.

[0059] See also Figure 2B , Figure 2B 1 is a flow chart of another method for settling medical expenses disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2AThe difference between the corresponding embodiment is that the present embodiment adds a step 204' of user identity authentication and a step 205' of obtaining a user request and obtaining a commercial insurance claim simultaneously. Specifically, Figure 2B As shown, the method for settling medical expenses may include the following steps.

[0060] 201'. Obtain user information of the user to be paid, wherein the user information includes user identity information and consumption information.

[0061] In some possible implementations, the identity information of the user to be paid can be obtained through a collection device; and the consumption information of the user to be paid can be obtained from a database based on the identity information. For example, the user's medical insurance card can be scanned by a scanning device, the user's identity information can be read from the medical insurance card, and then the user's consumption information can be searched based on the user's identity information. The consumption information may include the user's treatment expenses, examination expenses, medical expenses, etc. It should be noted that according to the social security policy of the user's pooling area, the insurance information, the user's consumption information, and the user's participation in commercial insurance, the expenses included in the consumption information may include the part that can be reimbursed by social insurance and the part that can be claimed by commercial insurance.

[0062] 202', sending the user identity information and the consumption information to the medical insurance system.

[0063] After receiving the user's identity information, the medical insurance system searches for the user's insurance information based on the user's identity information. The medical insurance system determines the amount that can be reimbursed by the medical insurance based on the medical insurance policy, the user's insurance information and the consumption information.

[0064] 203', obtaining the reimbursement expense information of the user corresponding to the user identity information fed back by the medical insurance system.

[0065] Among them, the reimbursement expense information includes the amount that can be reimbursed by medical insurance from the expenses included in the corresponding consumption information when medical insurance settles accounts with users.

[0066] 204'. Obtain verification information of the user to be paid according to preset verification conditions, and verify the identity of the user to be paid according to the verification information.

[0067] In order to improve the security of medical expense settlement, before settlement, a step of verifying the user's identity information can be added. Specifically, a verification condition can be preset. If the verification is passed, the commercial insurance claim can be settled together when the settlement is made. If the verification is not passed, the medical expense settlement cannot be performed, or only the medical insurance reimbursement can be settled, and the commercial insurance claim cannot be settled together. For example, the preset condition can be a mobile phone number or verification password pre-set by the user. Taking the verification password as an example, when the user to be paid goes to the counter to settle the medical expenses, according to the device prompt, if the user requests to settle the medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claim together when settling, or the user actively requests to settle the medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claim together when settling, the settlement device can voice prompt the user to enter the preset verification password. The user can enter a character string through an input device, such as a keyboard, and compare the character string entered by the user with the preset verification password. If they are consistent, the verification is passed, and the medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claim can be settled together.

[0068] 205', obtaining information on commercial insurance claims of the commercial insurance that the user to be paid has participated in and requesting to simultaneously obtain the commercial insurance claims information.

[0069] In order to improve the security of settlement, in this embodiment, the user to be paid can confirm the request to obtain the commercial insurance claim simultaneously in the commercial insurance that has been insured.

[0070] 206', sending the user identity information, the reimbursement expense information, and the consumption information to a commercial insurance system, where the commercial insurance system is a system corresponding to the commercial insurance business in which the user to be paid has participated and the user to be paid requests to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously.

[0071] It is understandable that if a user purchases multiple commercial insurances and requires to obtain multiple commercial insurance claims simultaneously, the user identity information, reimbursement expense information, and consumption information will be sent to each commercial insurance system that needs to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously.

[0072] 207'. Obtain the commercial insurance claim information determined by the commercial insurance system according to the insurance contract of the user to be paid.

[0073] It is understandable that if a user purchases multiple commercial insurances and requests to obtain multiple commercial insurance claims simultaneously, the commercial insurance claims information of the multiple commercial insurance claims will be aggregated and obtained.

[0074] 208', determining the amount that the user to be paid should pay based on the consumption information, the reimbursement information, and the commercial insurance claim information.

[0075] The amount to be paid by the user to be paid is determined based on the consumption information, the reimbursement information, and the commercial insurance claim information, including: the balance after deducting the amount of reimbursement from the amount of consumption and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined as the amount to be paid by the user to be paid, the consumption amount is determined by the consumption information, the amount of reimbursement is determined by the reimbursement information, and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined by the commercial insurance claim information.

[0076] By adopting the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the amount to be paid by the user can be determined according to the consumption information, medical insurance reimbursement information, and commercial insurance claim information during settlement. The technical solution processes both medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claim during settlement. After settlement, the user no longer needs to take the consumption receipt to the commercial insurance company for commercial insurance claim, which simplifies the process and improves efficiency. In addition, the security of settlement is improved by verifying the identity of the user to be paid; the user to be paid can request to obtain the commercial insurance claim information synchronously in the commercial insurance that has been insured, which increases the flexibility of settlement.

[0077] The present invention also discloses a settlement device, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a settlement device 300 disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the settlement device 300 may include: a first acquisition unit 301, a first sending unit 302, a second acquisition unit 303, a second sending unit 304, a third acquisition unit 305 and a determination unit 306, wherein:

[0078] The first acquisition unit 301 is used to acquire user information of the user to be paid, wherein the user information includes user identity information and consumption information. In some possible implementations, the user identity information can be acquired through a collection device; and the user consumption information can be acquired from a database based on the identity information. For example, the user's medical insurance card can be scanned by a scanning device, the user identity information can be read from the medical insurance card, and then the service can be searched based on the user identity information.

[0079] In some possible implementations, the user may hold a medical record with personal information such as name written on it, and the staff may enter the name and other personal information in the settlement terminal based on the name on the medical record, and search for the user's consumption information recorded in the database based on the input personal information.

[0080] It should be noted that the consumption information may be information and corresponding fees of various examinations, treatments, or medicines spent by the user in the hospital.

[0081] In some possible implementations, the user identity information may also be the user's biometric information such as the user's fingerprint information and / or facial information. The settlement system stores the user's biometric information collected in advance. During settlement, after obtaining the user's biometric information, the user identification bound to the biometric information, such as the social security card number, is determined by comparing it with the saved user's biometric information.

[0082] In some possible implementations, the first acquisition unit 301 is also used to obtain information requesting simultaneous acquisition of commercial insurance claims from the commercial insurance in which the user has participated before the second sending unit 304 sends the user identity information, the reimbursement expense information, and the consumption information to the commercial insurance system.

[0083] The first sending unit 302 is used to send the user identity information and the consumption information to the medical insurance system. After receiving the user identity information, the medical insurance system searches for the user's insurance information according to the user identity information, and determines the amount of the medical insurance that can be reimbursed in the expenses included in the consumption information corresponding to the medical insurance settlement for the user according to the medical insurance policy, the user's insurance information and the consumption information.

[0084] The second acquisition unit 303 is used to obtain the reimbursement expense information of the user corresponding to the user identity information fed back by the medical insurance system; wherein the reimbursement expense information includes the amount that can be reimbursed by the medical insurance in the expenses included in the corresponding consumption information when the medical insurance settles the bill with the user.

[0085] The second sending unit 304 is used to send the user identity information, the reimbursement information, and the consumption information to the commercial insurance system, which is a system corresponding to the commercial insurance business that the user to be paid has participated in and the user to be paid requests to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously. It can be understood that if the user to be paid has purchased multiple commercial insurances and requires to obtain multiple commercial insurance claims simultaneously, the user identity information, reimbursement information, and consumption information are sent to each commercial insurance system that needs to obtain commercial insurance claims simultaneously.

[0086] The third acquisition unit 305 is used to obtain the commercial insurance claim information determined by the commercial insurance system according to the insurance contract of the user to be paid. It can be understood that if the user purchases multiple commercial insurances and requires simultaneous acquisition of multiple commercial insurance claims, the commercial insurance claim information required to be obtained simultaneously is summarized.

[0087] The determination unit 306 is used to determine the amount that the user to be paid should pay according to the consumption information, the reimbursement information, and the commercial insurance claim information.

[0088] The amount to be paid by the user to be paid is determined based on the consumption information, the reimbursement information, and the commercial insurance claim information, including: the balance after deducting the amount of reimbursement from the amount of consumption and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined as the amount to be paid by the user, the consumption amount is determined by the consumption information, the amount of reimbursement is determined by the reimbursement information, and the amount of commercial insurance claim is determined by the commercial insurance claim information.

[0089] By adopting the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the amount to be paid by the user can be determined according to the consumption information, medical insurance reimbursement information, and commercial insurance claim information during settlement. The technical solution processes both medical insurance reimbursement and commercial insurance claims during settlement. After settlement, the user no longer needs to take the consumption receipt to the commercial insurance company for commercial insurance claims, which simplifies the process and improves efficiency.

[0090] In some possible implementations, a verification unit may be further included, which is used to obtain the verification information of the user to be paid according to preset verification conditions before the first sending unit sends the user identity information and the consumption information to the medical insurance system, and verify the identity of the user to be paid according to the verification information.

[0091] In some possible implementations, before the first sending unit sends the user identity information and the consumption information to the medical insurance system, the first acquisition unit is also used to obtain information requesting simultaneous acquisition of commercial insurance claims from the commercial insurance that the user to be paid has participated in.
