What should be paid attention to in the introduction of medical benefits for British students?

Physical examination is a necessary step for every student to enter a British university, so do you know what to pay attention to in physical examination? What kind of medical services can international students enjoy? Let's take a look at what we should pay attention to when introducing the medical benefits of British students.

First, let's take a look at the medical instructions.

But when it comes to going abroad for medical examination, the situation is complicated. ...

Why is it complicated? First of all, we don't know whether to go abroad for this physical examination!

Because visa is the most effective gateway to control the entry of diseases, many countries stipulate that visa application requires not only admission notice, proof of funds, but also medical certificate. For example, France and Germany have such requirements for self-funded international students.

However, there is no such requirement in Britain, so many students have no plans to go abroad for medical examination from the beginning.

However, a senior said that this physical examination must be done. If you can't get those two small notebooks, you will be dragged to the dark room for a long time when you enter the country, and you may be repatriated. Then, many students were scared and went abroad for physical examination.

The entry was really smooth, but a friend of mine didn't have a notebook with a health certificate, and the entry was also smooth. Although it is true that he was taken to the darkroom for examination, it only took 30 minutes, so it was not as scary as the legend!

In fact, I think many children's shoes reflect that it is terrible to be dragged to a small black room with a health certificate! British customs is unreliable!

Not only are British customs unreliable, it seems that everything related to Britain becomes unreliable. I went abroad for medical examination in Beijing. When the medical staff learned that I was going to England, they snapped up the two vaccines on my list.

I have a friend who got a health certificate in Zhengzhou and went to England, which is totally different from my vaccination! Fortunately, Britain is not a country where African diseases are rampant. Even if the vaccine situation is outrageous, there is no need to worry about what disease you will get after coming.

However, no matter whether Britain is reliable or not, I believe there are still children's shoes that need to go abroad for medical examination before they can enter the country smoothly. Especially for children's shoes in the first year of studying abroad, everyone knows the little nervous mentality of seeking stability in everything. I will give you a general description of the process of doing physical examination.

The necessary items to be prepared include ID card, passport, two two-inch photos, enough cash (credit cards are not accepted) and the school medical examination application form (if any). Physical examination at the Entry-Exit Physical Examination Center at No.20 Hepingli North Street, Beijing.

Special reminder, be sure to go early! Although the physical examination center doesn't open until eight o'clock, there are already many people waiting in line around seven o'clock.

At the end of nine o'clock, the scale of the sea of people is simply an eye-opener! I'm sure everyone wants to finish early. After all, waiting on an empty stomach is torture, isn't it? If you get up late, bring an ipad or a book. There will be a long queue.

After you are lucky enough to get the number, the office staff will give you several lists according to your situation, which list the items you want to have a physical examination. You need to sign a disclaimer on the back of the vaccine list.

Then I began to queue up for payment, reminding me to bring enough cash again, because credit cards are not accepted there. I remember that two kinds of vaccines in Britain were about five or six hundred.

After paying the fee and getting the receipt, you can take the receipt to the physical examination. Physical examination is divided into five items: blood drawing, urine test, operation, electrocardiogram and chest X-ray. I suggest you do blood first, because you can stuff something into your stomach after you finish!

After that, I went to the second floor for vaccination. Girls should not cry and say that it hurts. I didn't even have time to worry about whether I hurt or not, because there is a girl going to America next to me who needs nine shots of vaccine! So, I am full of sympathy for her and congratulations to myself.

After the physical examination, you need to hand in the form to the front desk on the first floor, and then you will get a note telling you to get the health examination certificate (brown notebook) at some time in two days, and a piece of paper for blood test.

Vaccination certificate (yellow notebook) needs to be picked up in the afternoon. It is really annoying to go abroad for medical examination, and you need to go to the medical examination center again and again.

Then look at medical benefits.

1. The medical expenses abroad are getting higher and higher.

There are all kinds of insurance abroad. For China students, the most important and practical are medical insurance and personal accident insurance.

Because the medical expenses abroad are staggering, in the United States, a small appendectomy will cost more than 3,000 dollars; In Japan, it costs 5,000 yen to see a cold and 200,000 yen to be hospitalized for appendectomy for a week. In Germany, the cost of a day in hospital is more than 300 euros.

But if you buy medical insurance, you can use less money to relieve the economic risks caused by illness.

In addition, some countries may no longer implement free medical insurance policies for foreigners. A few days ago, the British Ministry of Health put forward a reform plan for foreigners to enjoy free medical care in Britain.

According to this plan, foreigners who come to Britain for business, study or visit relatives in the short or long term will not be able to enjoy free medical insurance, and they must buy medical insurance to obtain visas. In fact, this practice has been implemented in many countries.

2. Compulsory health insurance is the most important.

Different countries studying abroad have different plans for medical care. The Australian government stipulates that all overseas students must pay health insurance premiums, which is supervised and managed by Medibank, the largest health insurance company in China.

China students can pay the insurance premium directly to the medical bank office or ask their school to pay it. There are usually two ways to solve medical expenses:

Pay according to the doctor's bill first, and then reimburse the insurance company with the receipt.

The other is to give the unpaid bill to the insurance company, and the insurance company will send you a check made out to the doctor, and then give the check to the doctor together with the balance payable.

Foreigners who have studied in Japan for more than one year must join the national health insurance as required. The amount of insurance premium varies from place to place, and Tokyo is the highest.

After arriving in Japan, foreign students can apply for membership in the National Health Insurance Department of their "district and city service hospitals" with their foreign registration certificates.

Those with residence period 1 year can join immediately, and those with "study" qualification need to provide "study certificate with residence period".

After joining the national health insurance, you can register the medical expenses subsidy for international students with the Japan International Education Association.

In this way, 80% of the medical expenses within the scope of insurance diagnosis and treatment can be supplemented by the treatment expenses paid by hospitals or clinics that implement health insurance.
