Non-selected consumables are reduced by another 60%

A few days ago, the Nanjing Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Notice on Exploring Medical Insurance Payments to Promote Gradient Price Reduction of Non-selected Products in Centralized Mass Purchase".
This time, a disposable abdominal puncture device with a large price difference between selected products and non-selected products in centralized mass purchase was selected.
As the first product, a gradient price reduction policy was implemented
.

 At the beginning of this year, the Nanjing Medical Insurance Bureau started negotiations on the purchase of two types of medical consumables, disposable peritoneal puncture devices and disposable blood glucose test strips, at the Nanjing Medical Consumables International Expo
.

 The average drop of the two types of medical consumables was 67.
42%, the highest drop was 91.
23%, and the lowest drop was 41%.
The highest drop in the single group was the conventional abdominal puncture group, with a drop of 90.
16%, and the lowest drop in the single group was 41.
26% in the single-hole multi-channel group
.

 At present, the more mainstream trocars on the market are divided into disposable trocars and repetitive trocars.
With the increasing popularity of endoscopic minimally invasive surgery in clinical departments, disposable trocars are used in endoscopic minimally invasive surgery The proportion will gradually increase
.

 According to the survey data of China Medical Device Industry Association, it is estimated that by 2020, the market size of disposable trocars will reach 9.
636 billion yuan
.

 The non-selected products bargain again

 Included in the procurement catalog of medical institutions

 The notice is clear that it will guide non-selected companies to reduce prices in an orderly manner, establish a gradual price reduction mechanism for non-selected products, and encourage non-selected companies to actively reduce their online prices and maintain a reasonable price difference with the prices of selected products
.

 On the premise of ensuring the completion of the agreed purchase volume of the selected products, all relevant designated medical institutions can purchase and use non-selected varieties at an appropriate price
.

 According to the product price reduction, the medical insurance personal pay ratio of the non-selected products is dynamically determined, and it is included in the procurement catalog of medical institutions to improve the selection of clinical applications
.

 After the end of the gradual price reduction cycle, the upper limit of medical insurance payment will be adjusted as appropriate
.

 According to the notice, from the date of the document until December 31, 2021, non-selected companies will begin to accept the self-declaration of the online price
.

 Coincidentally, in addition to Nanjing City, Changzhou City’s previous centralized procurement documents also proposed to encourage medical institutions to promote price coordination, and urge production and operation enterprises to make gradual price reduction commitments to meet the differentiated clinical needs, but this time it has been confirmed and implemented.

Decrease not less than 60%

 If you don't lower the price, you will cancel the qualification.
.
.

 According to the notice of the Medical Insurance Bureau, this gradient price reduction starts from the implementation period of the selected results of the quantity purchase and is limited to 1 procurement cycle.
The gradient reduction rate of the non-selected products is set to not less than 60%
.

 The price reduction is divided into two stages: the first time-limited reduction is not less than 40%, and the implementation time is August 1, 2021; the second price reduction must be 60%, and the implementation time is February 1, 2022
.

 For products that have not been reduced in price after the expiry date or have not reached the prescribed reduction rate, the online purchase price shall be adjusted uniformly according to the prescribed reduction rate and the time limit, and the medical insurance payment standard and self-pay ratio shall be adjusted simultaneously
.
In addition, if the product refuses to supply after adjusting the online price uniformly and according to the regulations, the eligibility for online sales of the product in Nanjing will be cancelled
.

 In other words, whether you want to "actively" lower the price now, you will adjust the online purchase price according to the prescribed reduction when the execution time is up.
Therefore, you must not report a fluke and think that you can avoid it if you don't participate in the price reduction.
Bargain
.

 To be honest, although this notice gives a time for relaxation, it can't change any results.
Although there is a suspicion of "playing hooliganism", everyone understands that there will be no more talk about Alliance bacteria!

 Frequent purchases in Nanjing

 According to relevant analysis, among the current provinces, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Henan, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shaanxi Union and other regions have continued to carry out volume procurement activities, but Jiangsu Province’s volume procurement activities have been particularly frequent, involving multiple models, multiple varieties, Many regions, and Nanjing is the first among them
.

 On January 5, the Nanjing Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Announcement on the Continuing Procurement Results of 8.
16 General Medical Consumables Concentrated Products", involving precision infusion sets and closed veins from BD, Weigao, Braun, Sanxin and other machinery companies.
Medical consumables such as indwelling needles, infusion ports, and pre-filled catheter irrigators
.

 In November 2020, the Nanjing Medical Security Bureau organized the third negotiation of the lowest price products
.
271 companies participated in the level negotiation and confirmed the prices of 1,002 general consumables and inspection reagents, including 15 types of low-value consumables such as injection puncture, medical polymer, surgical and anesthesia consumables
.

 Among them, the product with the highest drop was the ablation electrode, which dropped from 650 yuan to 128.
8 yuan, a drop of 80.
2%
.
The overall average drop was 20.
31%.
According to estimates, the annual savings after the price cut was 91.
347 million yuan
.

 Prior to this, the Nanjing Medical Insurance Bureau had organized two negotiations on the lowest-priced products of medical consumables in Nanjing, involving 3352 products, with an average drop of 20.
35%.
So far, it has saved 31.
6 million yuan
.

 The relevant person in charge of the Nanjing Medical Insurance Bureau said that on November 5, 2020, the first round of national centralized procurement of high-value consumables officially opened
.
Nanjing follows the pace of the National Medical Insurance Administration and launches negotiations for the lowest price products.
It is a key starting point to comprehensively deepen the reform of centralized procurement in the pharmaceutical field.
The management of medical consumables must not only “clear the heat” of high-value consumables, but also provide general consumption reagents.
"Remove blood stasis and dredge collaterals" so as to achieve full coverage and no blind spots
.

 Up to now, whether it is Nanjing City or Jiangsu Province, the false high moisture content of extrusion consumables across the country has achieved initial results
.
In the future, the entire consumables market will inevitably continue to deepen the "quantity for price" process
.
Therefore, whether you win the election or not, cut prices and bargain again, squeezing excess water is the end of the reform
