Answer:

Tam Anh General Hospital in TP HCM follows health insurance payment regulations in accordance with the amended Health Insurance Law, effective from 1/7/2025. Accordingly, the health insurance coverage is 80-100%, depending on the patient's category. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is covered by health insurance at 30-40% of the health insurance unit price.

Cases eligible for health insurance coverage for robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery include: hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction; choledochal cysts, choledochal cyst Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy; lobectomy in children, typical lobectomy; Hirschsprung's disease; anorectal malformations; gastroesophageal reflux disease, based on Circular 35/2016 dated 28/9/2016.

Since you have ureteropelvic junction obstruction, robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery would be covered by your health insurance. The hospital also accepts health insurance for other medical examination and treatment services, including urological surgery for those with health insurance cards.
