Medical: Health Care
In case you cannot read the characters: jian bao you zhen suo xi shou, bu ling wai shou qian.
This is from a Taiwan doctor's receipt (sorry for using pinyin and simplfied characters). To me it looks like "health insurance does not cover private clinic expense, no additional money required" but this does not make sense to me.
Does anyone have any idea what this means?
Thanks!

Chinese term (edited):
健保不由診所吸收，不另外收錢
Selected
national health insurance reimbursement not covered by clinics; no extra charges (for patients)
健保(給付)不由診所吸收，不另外收錢 national health insurance reimbursement not covered by clinics; no extra charges (for patients)
I believe the writer actually means "健保給付" (health insurance reimbursement).
給付=reimbursement (Yes, it is assumed).
In other words, the Bureau of National Health Insurance reimburses these medical charges covered in this receipt. Therefore, neither the clinic nor the patient has to pay these medical charges.
Under Taiwan's existing national health insurance reimbursement scheme, the Bureau of National Health Insurance requires that every resident in Taiwan subscribes to the National Health Insurance Scheme. Under this scheme, certain medical treatments and medications may be reimbursed at a certain proportion (e.g. 30% or whatever percentage). In other words, subscribers only have to pay monthly national health insurance premium to receive health care services.
However, it is difficult to explain how the Bureau of National Health Insurance splits these medical charges with service providers (hospitals, clinics, etc.) and service users.
