NDRC: ripe for reform In 1996 September, the State Planning Commission issued the "Interim Measures for the management of drug prices". In 2000, the competent department of price of the insurance catalogue of drugs and drug directory special implementation of government guidance management (maximum retail price). Yesterday, the NDRC said in response to the timing of the reform, the environment mechanism faces drug price management has undergone profound changes, full competition in drug market, public hospital drug sales prices all through centralized bidding, controlling health care costs and drug prices also significantly enhance the ability of market regulation. These changes, to create the conditions for the abolition of the maximum retail price of drugs. From the highest retail price management itself, there are obviously not adapt to the changing situation of the place. Therefore, to accelerate the reform of drug prices, cancel the maximum retail price of drugs management, the establishment of new drug price formation mechanism be imperative, timing is ripe. Focus The drug price how? The health insurance fund of the drug: by making Medicare payment standard exploration guide reasonable price formation mechanism of drug. Patent medicine, drug production: exclusive negotiation mechanism through the establishment of transparent, participatory price formation. Blood products, health insurance directory outside the national unified procurement of drugs, national immunization free antivirus treatment of AIDS drugs and contraceptives: through the formation of price bidding or negotiation. Other original market drugs: continued by production operators according to production costs and market supply and demand situation, independent pricing. Sound Pharmaceutical companies: high priced drugs are expected to lower the figure "" "Price is not equal to the quality, quality is not equal to the price. The drug price by the market, is the practice of the people responsible." Yesterday, Huarun commercial pharmaceutical group chairman Chen Jisheng said, has paid attention to the national development and Reform Commission of drug price reform new deal, she thinks, market competition and form the actual transaction price, and then achieve the drugs on the survival of the fittest, people will eventually have a positive for drug safety. Pharmaceutical companies will pay more attention to cost control Cancel the government pricing, whether that means for pharmaceutical companies to "relax"? Chen Jisheng said, the original government imposed a maximum retail price actually has little significance. "The approval of the price is not really concerned about the manufacturing cost, many do not belong to the manufacturing cost of the elements, are spread out in drug price." She explained, the drug price there is a common misconception that a drug, "the cost of a few cents, sold to a few blocks", in fact, this is the drug production, management, marketing costs are added. "The government" is the maximum retail price, but did not actually go to the "tube" highest cost. "In this case, if the enterprise will cost down, but the market price is reasonable, is the embodiment of the ability of enterprises." Chen Jisheng said, after the cancellation of government pricing, as pharmaceutical companies will be more concerned about the cost control, will strengthen self-discipline. "The drugs improve technology, quality assurance, have the ability to compete. Drugs with high quality, good curative effect will win, the market will be eliminated inferior drugs. The trend can be healthy. " The hospital drug prices will not rise "" In Beijing, the implementation of government procurement of drugs already in hospital. For people concerned about the hospital prescription price, "said Chen Jisheng will not rise". She said, first in the current mechanism of centralized drug bidding under, strokes prices will reflect the "social market" scale, drug price and quality in the negotiation process, achieve a balance point, itself will not be lifted to a high price. In addition, whether the hospital prescription, open expensive drugs, have also been included within the scope of control of medical insurance department. Therefore, the new deal has much impact on hospital drug prices will not. In addition, according to the new deal, will be paid by the health insurance fund of the drug, will by the community sector with pharmaceutical companies "bargaining". Chen Jisheng analysis, due to the medical insurance department itself has total control power, the move is expected to bring about a change, is gradually to some price level higher than similar products such as medicine, medicine, joint venture "far behind" the people of the past "high priced drugs to lower the figure". Her analysis, this kind of drug in the future must cut the cost, sink to the grassroots medical insurance, to support, and ultimately to share in the medical market. "The public is expected in the future will therefore improve the level of medication, can be said to be good yimin." 3 Editor: small Shen |
