According to the National Health Insurance Administration, on January 11, the centralized procurement of oral implant systems was opened in Sichuan, resulting in the results of the proposed selection
.
Under the guidance and coordination of the National Health Insurance Administration, the Sichuan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau took the lead in forming an inter-provincial procurement alliance for oral implant systems, with the active participation
of all provinces across the country.
The average winning price of the products to be selected dropped to more than 900 yuan, an average decrease of 55%
compared with the median purchase price before centralized procurement.
This collection gathers the demand of nearly 18,000 medical institutions across the country, reaching 2.
87 million implant systems, accounting for about 72% of the annual number of dental implants (4 million) in China, and is expected to save about 4 billion yuan in patient costs every year
.
A total of 55 enterprises participated in this collective procurement, of which 39 were to be selected, with a winning rate of 71%.
The selected enterprises include some well-known international enterprises, as well as domestic enterprises
such as Weihai Weigao and Changzhou Baikangte.
The Straumann, Densberg and Neoproco implant systems with higher prices before collection and procurement were reduced from the original median purchase price of 5000 yuan to about 1850 yuan, and the most demanded implant systems in the market were reduced from about 1500 yuan to about 770 yuan.
It includes two kinds of implants with better material performance and higher clinical recognition of grade IV pure titanium and titanium alloy, and covers other consumable parts of oral implants, which can meet the needs of most clinical use
.
14,000 private medical institutions actively participated in this collective procurement, accounting for 80%
of the total number of medical institutions.
The extensive participation of private medical institutions will greatly facilitate the public to enjoy affordable dental implant services
.
In the next step, the medical insurance department will make preparations before the implementation of the results of centralized procurement, and in the near future, it will also carry out bidding and listing of crown consumables used in the process of dental implants, and simultaneously implement the whole process of price regulation of oral implant medical services, so that the three main cost components of dental implant services will be reduced
simultaneously.
Through the concerted efforts of a number of measures, it is expected that from late March to mid-April 2023, the results of comprehensive management of dental implant costs will be implemented, and patients will fully enjoy the reduced dental implant services
.
The person in charge of the joint procurement office of the interprovincial alliance responded to hot issues:
1.
Has the collection and procurement of the Oral Implant System Alliance achieved the expected goals?
A: The Oral Implant System Centralized Procurement Alliance is led by the Sichuan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau and participated by all provinces in the country
.
A total of 55 enterprises participated, and all mainstream companies have participated, of which 39 are to be selected, with a winning rate of 71%.
The average price of the selected products dropped to more than 900 yuan, an average decrease of 55%
compared with the median purchase price before centralized procurement.
The winning price range is about 600 yuan to 1850 yuan
.
A total of nearly 18,000 medical institutions across the country participated in the report, gathering the demand for 2.
87 million implant systems, accounting for about 72% of the annual number of dental implants (4 million) in China, which can save about
4 billion yuan in annual costs 。 The selected enterprises include some well-known international enterprises, as well as domestic enterprises such as Weihai Weigao and Changzhou Baikangte, and the implant systems with higher prices before centralized procurement are reduced from the median price of 5000 yuan to about 1850 yuan, and the most demanded implant systems in the market are reduced from the median price of 1500 yuan to about 770 yuan, and the selected products are rich and can effectively meet clinical needs
。
2.
At what price can the public use the implant products selected in this collective procurement?
A: In public medical institutions, medical services and medical consumables are charged separately, and medical consumables implement a "zero difference" sales policy, and the winning price is the final implant price
paid by the patient to the hospital.
In private medical institutions, the price of oral implants is regulated by the market, allowing private medical institutions to add a certain percentage
to the selected price of implants.
We advocate that private medical institutions raise prices appropriately to achieve a win-win
situation for the interests of patients and the development of medical institutions.
In order to protect patients' right to know, improve transparency, and guide patients to make appropriate choices, the selected price of this collective procurement will be publicly released to the public, and the official website of the provincial medical insurance bureau will also publish the selected price of implant centralized procurement for a long time, so as to facilitate patients to compare the price increase of private medical institutions and guide patients to seek medical
treatment at reasonable prices.
At the same time, medical institutions with inflated prices, unreasonable charges and false publicity will be publicly exposed, and private medical institutions will be guided to formulate reasonable prices that meet the laws of market competition and the expectations of the masses, so that patients can truly enjoy the benefits
of centralized procurement and price reduction.
3.
What is the impact of this collective procurement on the decline of mass planting costs and the expansion of planting services?
A: The cost of oral implants is roughly divided into three parts: implants, crowns and medical services, which is also the focus of the medical insurance department to carry out comprehensive management of oral implant prices
.
This collective procurement promotes competition through "carrying volume" and squeezes out the price moisture
of implants.
In the next step, the Sichuan Medical Insurance Bureau will take the lead in launching the crown auction net in the near future to promote the price of crowns more transparent and reasonable, and other provinces will follow up in time to link the price
of crowns in Sichuan.
At the same time, local medical insurance departments are simultaneously carrying out the whole process of price regulation of oral implant medical services according to the set goals, and guiding private medical institutions to set reasonable prices
by playing the role of "anchor" in the price of public medical institutions.
Through the above treatment measures, it is estimated that the overall cost of implanting a tooth (including medical services, implants and crowns) is expected to be reduced by about
50%.
Of course, the above is only the average price reduction
.
In the specific situation, if the original price is higher, the reduction will be more obvious, and the price of the original parity planting will also be reduced, and the overall cost burden of the masses will be significantly reduced
.
On the other hand, due to the sharp drop in prices, many people who previously did not receive treatment for financial reasons can now afford dental implant treatment
.
It is estimated that the number of domestic dental implants will increase significantly on the existing basis, which means that the oral health and quality of life of a large number of new patients will be significantly improved
by this dental implant collection.
At the same time, the extensive participation of private medical institutions has effectively improved the accessibility of oral implant medical services, and also helped to further release and meet
the needs of the masses.
Finally, many domestic brands were selected in this collection, which optimizes the supply structure of dental implant consumables, is conducive to the sales and research and development of domestic implant manufacturers, and will ultimately help domestic patients enjoy high-quality and affordable dental implant products
.
4.
When will the results of this collective procurement be implemented?
A: After the selection result is produced, we will organize medical institutions to confirm the purchase quantity, and urge the selected enterprises to produce and stock up
according to the requirements.
At the same time, the Sichuan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau will carry out bidding for the crown consumables used in the dental implant process to promote the transparency of crown prices and return to a reasonable level, and other provinces will also follow up in time to link Sichuan's crown hanging prices
.
It is expected that the results of this implant collection and the price of crown hanging after bidding will be implemented in various provinces from late March to mid-April 2023, when the price of oral implant medical services in various places will also be adjusted in place, and patients will fully enjoy the reduced dental implant services
.
5.
Why can so many private medical institutions participate in collective procurement?
A: Over the past four years, the reform of centralized procurement of pharmaceuticals has achieved positive results in squeezing out the price of drug consumables and improving the ecology of the pharmaceutical circulation field
.
As the main provider of oral medical services, private medical institutions generally hope to reduce the cost of dental implant consumables through centralized procurement, and also hope to improve their reputation, expand social influence, increase patient recognition and demonstrate social responsibility
by participating in the alliance centralized procurement.
Under the condition that the industry has the will and the public's expectations, 14,000 private medical institutions have actively responded to participate, which will greatly facilitate the public to enjoy affordable dental implant services
.
The official website of the medical insurance bureaus of the alliance provinces will soon publish information such as the price of implants selected and the list of private medical institutions participating in centralized procurement
.
We also invite patients to pay attention to whether the medical institution participates in the collection of dental implants, medical charges, etc.
, and give priority to choosing the appropriate medical institution for medical treatment, so as to better enjoy the policy dividends
