Introduction

We found that community pension services may indirectly deter the use of primary outpatient treatments and that the availability of primary health services had a substantial direct and mediated effect. Additionally, there is a suppressive effect between main outpatient utilization and medical insurance due to the availability of primary healthcare services. While the availability of primary care facilities dampens the positive impact of medical insurance on the use of primary outpatient services, health insurance directly encourages primary outpatient consumption. Community pension services should focus on providing differentiated services as a result. The benefits of medical insurance for outpatients may also be enhanced by altering the coordinated development of medical insurance and the provision of primary healthcare. The Alma-Ata Declaration highlights the crucial role that primary care plays in reaching the objective of universal healthcare. The Chinese government placed a strong emphasis on improving primary healthcare in both urban and rural areas and on offering essential public health services. The advancement of PHC is also emphasised in the Healthy China 2030 Plan Outline. By offering inpatient care and essential services locally, the focus is shifting to PHC village clinics, town health centres, and urban community health centres, which should reduce burden on the healthcare system. PHC is nevertheless not very well known. The optimization and application of PHC have received the majority of attention in studies to date. Primary care physicians' services for the most vulnerable, the number of institutions and beds, and other topics that have an impact on PHC were the key topics of discussion regarding optimization. Medical alliances and the creation of health insurance policies for chronic diseases have also been identified in research as important contributing factors.

To prevent unnecessary and excessive healthcare use, PHC is anticipated to serve as an initial diagnostic resource. The drawbacks of combining community medical care and pension benefits, however, have almost ever been discussed. In actuality, pension benefits and medical care are provided within the same framework. Medical and pension services provided together. Insurance seems to have a significant role in determining how often the general public uses healthcare services. Patients may be persuaded to go to a PCI since it offers greater reimbursement rates than tertiary medical facilities in several areas, suggesting a possible beneficial interaction between medical insurance and PHC. Medical insurance's pricing structure can also help with the distribution of available resources. To allocate capital, health departments typically utilize various insurance policies. Matsushima emphasised the need for the supply side to be ready for rising demand as a result of the expansion of medical insurance coverage. The availability of primary health services will need to be altered as primary medical insurance becomes more common and popular. We out that having access to both public and private medical insurance improves people's health and our study used a patient's condition to reflect service demand.

Discussion

Healthcare for the middle-aged and elderly is supplied through a combination of community medical care and pension services, which has an impact on the usage of PHC services but also, to a certain extent, lessens the difficulty in getting an appointment with a doctor. Additionally, while allocating resources to a PCI in the event of limited medical resources, the health department may take into account current services and a person's needs. As a result, we deduced that the supply of PCIs may decline when the integrated services are better [1]. According to Ding's research, coordinated services could satisfy the various needs of the elderly. PCIs were crucial for the initial diagnosis and referral, particularly during the pandemic. PHC is, however, not always well-liked. Our work primarily adds to knowledge in two areas. First, in contrast to other studies on PHC visit influencing factors, we investigated both their indirect and direct impacts, which explained the conflicting effects of current primary care promotion initiatives at PCIs. PCI infrastructure, monetary remuneration, combined community health care and pension services, and individual health traits were all covered [2]. It supports research into the function of joint services in particular. Second, in order to achieve equitable use, study on the causes of PHC use will be crucial.

Medical insurance's direct and indirect influences on PHC use have opposing effects. First, it has a direct, positive effect, demonstrating the beneficial nature of financial support. The indirect impact, however, is adverse when the PCI supply is employed as a mediating variable. Medical insurance is the primary cause of the supply of PCIs being constrained because highlevel hospitals divert resources away from primary care facilities [3]. The more expensive the medical insurance, the more patients will choose secondary or tertiary hospitals, which reduces the availability of primary care facilities. Meanwhile, we found that this might also be associated with regional outpatient reimbursement practises, which are based on a threshold charge. Some areas frequently encourage patients to be using PHC through medical insurance coverage; this reduces the need for high-level hospitals to develop PHC. For instance, Henan Province, a place with a middle level of medical care, has inferior primary medical resources than Beijing yet a 60% inpatient payment rate [4]. In order to direct the growth of PHC, local health agencies must use medical insurance. Additionally, the availability of PCI health services benefits PHC utilisation greatly, but the total amount of financial assistance provided to PCIs is less than that provided to high-level hospitals. The drawback of a poorly designed PHC becomes more apparent as medical insurance coverage expands. Thus, the direct and indirect effects of medical insurance on PHC use are at odds due to the large hospitals' drain on healthcare resources and the underdevelopment of PHC [5].

Conclusion

In this study, we were able to confirm that the availability of PCI healthcare services significantly influences the utilisation of PHC. Additionally, we discovered in this study that while combined medical services and pension services did not directly influence PHC use, they did influence PHC use indirectly through the provision of PCI health services. Additionally, we discovered a substitution effect between PHC and combination services.

Instead, combined services should offer long-term care, preventive care, and intelligent health monitoring services to better the current scenario. Due to its lack of development, medical insurance negatively impacted the availability of primary health care, which in turn negatively impacted the favourable impact of medical insurance on the utilisation of primary outpatient services.
