一般指自然災害發生後引發患者所得疾病。
英文解釋
A catastrophic illness is a severe illness requiring prolonged hospitalization or recovery. Examples would include coma,[1]cancer, leukemia, heart attack or stroke. These illnesses usually involve high costs for hospitals, doctors and medicines and may incapacitate the person from working, creating a financial hardship. They are the type intended to be covered by high-deductible health plans. Research indicates that the unusual economic environment of the delivery of catastrophic illness care encourages the use of innovative therapies.[2]Medicare contains a benefit for catastrophic illness.[3]
