[摘要]健康保险由于经营风险大、管理成本高、管理难度大,面临普遍发展难题。过度医疗、逆选择等外界风险的大量存在,成为健康保险的发展瓶颈,健康保险产品创新成为走出困境的希望之路。因此,在产品创新导向上要注重将健康保险自身规律与市场需求规律有机结合,建立起以保险机构专业化经营管理为前提、以健康管理为基础、以保险机构与医疗机构有效合作为保证的健康保险风险控制机制;建立起以普遍性需求为主导、以区域性和个性化需求为辅助的集中与分散相结合的健康保险产品研发体制;创造出政府政策支持和具体优惠政策并举、社会医疗保险与商业健康保险两个优势均能得到充分发挥的政策环境。 [关键词]健康保险;风险特点;产品创新;风险控制机制;产品研发体制 [中图分类号] F840.684 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2007)03-0054-02 Abstract: Due to its higher risks, higher management costs and the difficulty of business management, the health insurance industry is facing with a difficult situation in expanding business. The general existence of external risks such as overmedication and adverse selection are the bottleneck for its development. Product innovation is probably the hope of the industry to come out this dilemma. Therefore, in guiding product innovation, we should emphasize the necessity to organically combine the inherent rule of development of the industry with the actual needs of the market. The objective is to establish a health insurance risk control mechanism with specialized operation of the health insurance business as the precondition, health management as the basis and the cooperation between health insurers and medical service providers and the guarantee of the mechanism. Another objective is to establish a health insurance product development mechanism that is oriented towards meeting the general demands of the public while satisfying specific local and individualized needs. Last but not least, through all these efforts, we hope to create a favorable policy environment that enlists both government support and preferential policies, and enables full display of the advantages of both the social medicare system and the commercial health insurance system.
