4 disease groups 30 baht, one ID card Free physical therapy at the clinic, suggestions for additional care “Knee joint-office syndrome patients” 30 baht for treatment everywhere in the next period
Currently, there are 4 disease groups of patients who can use the gold patent to receive physical therapy services in clinics participating in the project to upgrade 30 baht treatment everywhere with a single ID card: 1. Stroke patients 2. Patients Traumatic brain injury; 3. Patients with spinal cord injuries who have been treated until they are in a stable condition; and 4. Patients with critical hip fractures from non-violent hazards (Fragility fracture hip).
At the meeting to explain the guidelines for driving the project to raise the level of 30 baht to treat everywhere with one ID card, Phase 2 in Phang Nga Province, organized by the National Health Security Office. (NHSO) recently There are representatives from various professional councils. Participate in discussions and understanding with professional entrepreneurs. About the steps Methods and guidelines for applying to become a service unit in the Gold Card system
Asst. Prof. Dr. Kanda Chaipinyo, representative from the Physical Therapy Council, said that in terms of the physical therapy profession, piloting 4 provinces in Phase 1, there were not many physical therapy clinics participating in the project. Most of the participating areas are from the northeastern region.
The problem encountered was the transfer of patients from hospitals. This is because the system that has been set up is that patients will receive treatment in the hospital first. Then have the hospital refer you for rehabilitation at a physical therapy clinic. Meanwhile, the clinic must coordinate with the hospital itself in order for the hospital to refer them. But the problem is that hospitals may not know who to refer to. And when the clinic contacts them, they may not know each other or trust each other. It is also a burden on the hospital to provide additional referral information.
“Right now, with many patients, someone must enter the information to forward. Once the physical therapy clinic has applied, it must link the information with the hospital. Therefore, there must be a clear data linking system. In Phase 2, these problems were discussed and received more cooperation. NHSO also tried to be a mediator in communicating with hospitals in this matter. Or in some provinces, the provincial public health doctor invites the hospital director to come and understand the reimbursement system. What must the hospital do? It will reduce congestion and create opportunities for patients to access services. If there is an understanding here, most hospitals will cooperate,” said Asst. Prof. Dr. Kanda.

The NHSO traveled to give explanations in various provinces. It will make awareness better and it is expected that there will be more physical therapy clinics applying to join the project. Even though the service fee payment rate that NHSO pays to clinics is, frankly speaking, much lower than the rate that clinics normally charge. But the Physical Therapy Council is trying to persuade them that the first phase will be based on their potential, such as providing services during periods when the clinic has free time or can allocate people. It is considered to be done for the people.
Additionally, the clinic promotes itself as not treating only those who can afford it. People who need services but do not yet have access to them also have the right to receive good services. Most of what we talked regarding, various clinics want to help because they see it as an area that can be done. The clinic can operate as usual. But you can use your free time or allocate resources to provide care or go out and visit homes.
The Physical Therapy Council has proposed to the NHSO that in the next phase there will still be things that physical therapists can help provide services, namely groups that have had knee replacement surgery. Because some people return home and their knees are swollen, painful, and unable to walk. They need a physical therapist to take care of them.
Including groups that have pain such as back pain, neck pain, office syndrome. A physical therapist can provide advice on how to monitor your symptoms and how to exercise to stop the pain. Otherwise, it will continue to be a problem. Some people need treatment for years. Even though this group of people are not elderly people. But there is a need to receive service. In order to be able to take care of yourself and not become a patient in the future, however, these matters must be taken gradually. Negotiate to expand services so that patients receive more services.
