Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 417 - 360: Attention from a Healthcare Insurance Giant_2

Chapter 417: Chapter 360: Attention from a Healthcare Insurance Giant_2

Liu Ziang spoke slowly.

"Uh..."

Zhao Heng was at a loss for words. Was it really this easy to make money?

It’s just about being available for consultations and offering one-on-one consultations. Basically, it’s just spending a little more time; the treatments and surgeries are essentially the same.

Could it really be that rich people’s money comes effortlessly?

Think about it, these companies can offer annual consulting fees starting in the millions, so how much do they charge their clients for so-called high-end medical insurance?

"Getting invited by a few companies, wouldn’t the consulting fees alone be several million a year?"

After a pause, Zhao Heng said with some astonishment.

What Liu Ziang mentioned truly shocked him, realizing that making money could be this easy.

"Of course, but this is only for the top-tier doctors in the database, not just anyone. At Eastern Hospital, besides the director and the cardiothoracic surgery director Huang Jincheng, there’s only me who qualified to join this database, but now you’re also included."

Liu Ziang further explained.

Speaking of himself, a trace of pride appeared on his face.

"So there really aren’t many doctors who enjoy this privilege."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

At first hearing, a few million in consulting fees a year does sound exaggerated.

But thinking about other industries like law or financial investment, top-tier people earning millions in consultation fees a year is normal too.

Moreover, even in a top-tier hospital like Eastern Hospital, only a handful of people enjoy this, which means these companies are selecting the absolute best of the country’s doctors.

The criteria for selecting the top-tier surely isn’t about fame, titles, or positions.

It’s about assessing the actual ability to diagnose and treat patients.

"Senior, you’ve joined this talent database?"

Zhao Heng suddenly thought that, based on what Liu Ziang said, he must have joined.

"Why not take free money? It’s like the rich but foolish people out there."

Liu Ziang smiled and said.

It’s just spending a little more time, not even having to do extra stuff, and you earn starting from millions in consulting fees each year. Why wouldn’t you take this kind of free money?

"Nowadays, top talents in all fields charge high consultation fees; the medical field just hasn’t caught up. This is just the start, and there will be more in the future."

Pausing, Liu Ziang added.

It’s easy to imagine, for some wealthy people, spending a few million a year for one-on-one medical services saves a lot of time. This health expense is far better than other lavish indulgences.

"Senior, I really didn’t know about this until you mentioned it."

Zhao Heng said with some admiration.

If Liu Ziang hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t know about such things as a high-end medical talent database or the free consulting fees.

"You’re not trying to persuade me, are you, senior?"

Zhao Heng suddenly thought that with all Liu Ziang had introduced, he might want him to join a company’s consulting database and become a high-end consulting doctor there.

"I’m not exactly persuading you, but it’s a loss not to pick up free money. Whatever you do with this money is up to you. Like me, I put the money directly into the department fund."

Liu Ziang smiled and said.

His legitimate income is already several million a year, so he doesn’t miss this money, putting all the so-called consulting fees into the department fund.

When encountering financially challenged patients, they can be subsidized a bit.

"Senior, what you said sounds a bit like robbing the rich to give to the poor."

Zhao Heng also laughed and said.

"If I join, I won’t have to serve the bosses all day, will I?"

After a pause, Zhao Heng said with some concern.

If people think that paying means they can boss the doctors around, he’d rather not earn that money. Frankly, he doesn’t need it.

But as Liu Ziang said, it’s a waste not to take this money, a pity not to earn it.

"Of course not. People who can afford these services aren’t fools, and they wouldn’t be disrespectful to doctors. Whoever is truly foolish couldn’t earn that kind of money."

Liu Ziang explained.

"Not necessarily; some industries bring in quick money but have questionable people."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng thought of the entertainment industry.

If someone truly earned their money from scratch, they’d have an understanding and wouldn’t do something as foolish as disrespecting a doctor."

But some self-absorbed big stars in showbiz might not be the same. Generally, these people have lower educational levels. A secondary school diploma is considered high education among them, and being able to solve a quadratic equation might earn them praise as a top student.

These people might just do such things.

"Junior, that’s more of the past. Such rich fools are scarce now."

Liu Ziang said.

"I’ll inform them of your response, and you’ll just wait to sign the contract."

After a pause, Liu Ziang added.

This was his first time making such an introduction. The company wouldn’t easily recognize other doctors he might introduce.

Like Director Liu Shangming and Cardiothoracic Surgery Director Huang Jincheng, they’ve been earning consulting fees for many years. Liu Ziang only joined these past few years.

"What’s the name of the company you mentioned? I want to check its legitimacy."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

Agreeing without knowing the company name would be too careless, what if it’s a scam company?

"Once I tell you the company name, you’ll recognize it immediately. As far as I know, its total market value has reached over 900 billion RMB this year, considered the pinnacle of domestic insurance companies."

Liu Ziang said.

"Are you talking about Huaxia Life Insurance?"

Zhao Heng was stunned.

Huaxia Life Insurance, comprising its parent and subsidiaries, is the largest state-owned financial insurance group in our country and a significant institutional investor in our capital market.

Its comprehensive range covers life insurance, non-life insurance, corporate and occupational annuities, banking, funds, asset management, wealth management, industrial investment, overseas business, and more.

It has dominated our financial and insurance industry for years, ranking 40th in this year’s Global 500, an unimaginable behemoth for ordinary people.

"Yes, it’s Huaxia Life Insurance, or why else would I join?"

Seeing Zhao Heng’s stunned look, Liu Ziang couldn’t help but smile.

With Liu Ziang’s pride, how could he agree if just any medical insurance company approached him?

"Alright, it truly is a towering tree."

Zhao Heng nodded.

A total market value of over 960 billion RMB, just shy of a trillion, such a colossal financial insurance company managing high-end medical insurance must be truly "high-end."

The people able to enjoy such high-end medical services must indeed be extraordinary.

The level of executives at such a gigantic company is probably akin to the elders of the Gao Family.

"Why would they think of me?"

Zhao Heng asked, a bit puzzled.

"Your recent treatment cases have already become the most notable among the high-end medical circles. If Huaxia Life Insurance’s High-End Medical Department didn’t notice you, they’d be sleeping on the job."

Liu Ziang said.

Zhao Heng’s achievements are remarkably glorious, and although limited in quantity, the quality of individual case treatments is outstanding.

Even patients whom the world-renowned Mayo Clinic couldn’t treat were successfully treated by Zhao Heng. Such feats would undoubtedly garner attention from Huaxia Life Insurance’s High-End Medical Department.

"Thanks, senior."

Zhao Heng nodded.

He’s grateful for the career advancement gift and the network connection. Liu Ziang is indeed very kind to him.

Getting connected with Huaxia Life Insurance’s High-End Medical Department might already be like connecting with top-level networks, possibly even more resourceful in terms of connections since the clients are genuinely rich individuals.

Although Zhao Heng holds some disdain for the concept of high-end medical services, free money is still money to be earned, and having more connections and background is always beneficial.
