Abstract：Objective:Constructing and exploring the spatial association mechanism of the efficiency of Urban and Rural Residents' Basic Medical Insurance(URRBMI)across provincial regions is of great significance for promoting regional insurance development and constructing a unified national healthcare system.Methods:Using the super-efficiency SBM model and the modified gravity model to build a spatial association network of URRBMI fund operational efficiency from 2020 to 2022.The network structure and driving(actors are analyzed using social network analysis.Results:The spatial association network of URRBMI efficiency exhibits a highly interconnected structure characterized by bilateral reciprocity,triadic closure,and stability,with the network in 2022 being the most compact and showing decreasing internal disparities.It is organized into four major blocks led by the"Beijing-Shanghai-Jiangsu"Region.The spatial association mechanism is driven by three core factors:"geographical proximity,insurance fund pressure,coordination of medical and financial resources".Conclusion:It is suggested to further leverage the role of key provinces,optimize the allocation of medical and financial resources,and enhance the efficiency of insurance management.
