UnionPay teams up local hospital on mobile payment
Online Edition
CHINA UnionPay, the country's sole bankcard transaction firm, has launched a new payment service with Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital to allow swift payment from patients' smartphones, following third party payment firms such as Alipay and Tenpay.
The application, available on both Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating system, allows patients to complete the registration process from their smartphones.
By connecting their debt cards or credit cards with the smartphone application, patients can pay for their diagnosis bills and medical fees by a single click without waiting in a long queue at hospital counters.
For the elderly patients, they can have their medical insurance accounts connected with their children or relatives' accounts to allow easier payment from one unified account.
The total amount of the medical bill would be automatically split between their medical insurance accounts and their own expense accounts so patients will only have to pay their own expense apart from what's already covered under the national health insurance policy.
Chen Peng, product manager at the product department of China UnionPay, said it plans to incorporate with other commercial insurance services in the future to allow easy settlement of claims.
UnionPay said it is to launch the service in another three hospitals in Hebei and Zhejiang provinces on a trial basis in the next few months.
Privately-owned Internet giants including Alipay and and Tenpay also launched similar payment service via their smartphone applications with local hospitals.
Several dozens domestic hospitals including about 10 in Shanghai currently accept registration and payment of medical fees from Alipay.
