To explore the coupling and coordination relationship between medical service price and social economic development in Sichuan Province, and provide references for deepening medical service price reform and promoting regional linkage and coordinated development.

The coupling coordination degree model was used to evaluate the coupling coordination degree between medical service price and social economic development, and the coupling coordination grade and type were clarified.

From 2017 to 2022, the coupling coordination degree between medical service price and social economic development in Sichuan Province showed an upward trend. Among the five economic regions, only the coupling coordination degree of Northwest Sichuan Ecological Demonstration Zone showed a downward trend, while the other four regions showed an upward trend. Specifically speaking, Chengdu ranked first in coupling coordination degree, belonging to intermediate coordination, while Ganzi and Aba were at the end, belonging to serious imbalance. From high to low, the proportion of coupling coordination type was lagged medical service price type, synchronized medical service price and social economic development type, lagged social economic development type.

The coupling coordination trend of the two systems in Sichuan Province is generally good, but the coordination degree is not high, and there are significant regional differences. Generally, it belongs to the lag coordination of medical service prices.
