Description
A standardized charge for the first evaluation by a coordinated group of specialists from different disciplines reviewing a patient's case collectively to develop an integrated treatment plan.
Main Uses
The MDT initial consultation fee covers the structured, coordinated evaluation of complex or high-risk patients by ≥3 clinical specialists (e.g., oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology, nursing) during a single scheduled session. Primary purposes include: establishing consensus diagnosis and staging, formulating individualized treatment plans (especially for cancer, advanced autoimmune disorders, or multi-organ failure), avoiding fragmented care, improving diagnostic accuracy, optimizing surgical/radiation/medical therapy sequencing, and facilitating timely clinical trial enrollment. Applicable scenarios: newly diagnosed stage III–IV malignancies, recurrent/metastatic disease, borderline resectable tumors, atypical presentations, treatment-resistant conditions, and preoperative planning for high-complexity procedures.
Normal Range
Not applicable — 'Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Initial Consultation Fee' is a healthcare service charge, not a laboratory or physiological measurement; it has no biological normal range. The fee varies by hospital tier, region, and complexity of case, typically ranging from ¥300 to ¥2,500 in China (as of 2024), but this is an administrative/financial parameter, not a clinical biomarker.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A — As a standardized service fee, 'low value' does not reflect a clinical abnormality; however, lower fees may occur due to: (1) Public hospital pricing under national medical insurance price caps, (2) Subsidized rates for insured patients or vulnerable populations, (3) Tier-1 or community hospitals applying basic MDT consultation protocols, (4) Institutional promotional waivers (e.g., pilot programs), (5) Billing errors or system misclassification.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A — 'High value' refers to financial cost variation, not pathology; elevated fees may result from: (1) Top-tier tertiary hospitals (e.g., Beijing Union Medical College Hospital) with senior expert panels, (2) Complex oncology or rare disease cases requiring ≥5 specialties and imaging/pathology re-review, (3) Inclusion of real-time tele-MDT across multiple institutions, (4) Private or international department pricing, (5) Add-on services such as genetic counseling, treatment simulation, or bilingual interpretation.
