In fact, the purchase of oral consumables in quantities is also expected

Prior to this, the National Medical Insurance Administration had revealed that it would coordinate the procurement of high-value medical consumables in a coordinated manner at the national and local levels
.
Continuously sum up experience, carefully organize the "one product, one policy" according to the characteristics of consumables, focus on including some high-value medical consumables with large clinical usage and high purchase amount into the centralized procurement, and gradually expand the scope of procurement to reduce the burden of medical treatment for the masses
.
At the same time, in accordance with the principle of "one product, one policy", taking full consideration of product quality, price, supply, integrity and other factors, we will continue to improve the centralized procurement rules, comprehensively consider product quality and efficacy, and guide enterprises in orderly competition

Affected by this, the call for centralized dental procurement has also begun to rise

The analysis believes that this is mainly because the oral consumables are more in line with the above conditions for inclusion in the centralized procurement range, and the increasing demand for oral cavity in China has brought huge potential market space
.
It is understood that the current average treatment cost for a dental implant is about 6000-20000 yuan.
If you plant a full-mouth tooth, it is equivalent to buying a house in the county

In general, the current centralized procurement of medicines and medical consumables is normalized, and the falsely high prices are constantly being guided to return to a reasonable level, reducing the burden of patients’ medical expenses, and purifying the medical circulation field.
The industry believes that once oral consumables really start Entering centralized procurement will also usher in a wave of price cuts, which will certainly benefit more patients while triggering changes in the industry
