Abstract：Objective:To quantitatively assess the participation of social medical insurance in palliative care medical insurance payment policies in different regions of China,explore the characteristics,find the weak points,and provide a basis for subsequent policy formulation.Methods:Based on text mining and literature review,it established a Policy Modeling Consistency(PMC)index model with 9 primary indicators and 38 secondary indicators,and quantitatively evaluated the palliative care insurance payment policies from 2017 to 2024.Results:A total of 24 policies were included,and the overall PMC index was 5.65,which was an acceptable grade,including 10 good grade policies,13 acceptable grade policies,and 1 poor grade policy.Conclusion:Overall,palliative care medical insurance payment policies are good,with relatively complete provisions in terms of coverage,medical insurance payment mechanism,supervision and management.However,there are still shortcomings in terms of financing channels,policy recipients,and incentive constraints.The follow-up should focus on broadening the financing channels,expanding the scope of recipients,and improving the incentive and constraint mechanism,so as to promote the optimization and improvement of the palliative care insurance payment system.
