    For a long time, the high cost of dental implants has discouraged many people who are suffering from dental diseases
    .
    From the feedback of patients, the high price of dental implant consumables, especially imported dental implant consumables, is a major factor
    in the overall high charge.
    The centralized procurement of oral implant systems produces the results of the proposed selection, which means that dental implants will usher in a large price
    reduction.
    Average reduction of 55%! Zhongxin Finance learned from the National Health Insurance Administration that on January 11, the centralized procurement of oral implant systems was opened in Sichuan, resulting in the results of the proposed selection
    .
    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
    .
    It is worth mentioning that the selected enterprises include some well-known international enterprises, as well as domestic enterprises
    such as Weihai Weigao and Changzhou Baikangte.
    14,000 private medical institutions also actively participated in the collective procurement, accounting for 80%
    of the total number of medical institutions.
    In addition, this collection also 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 vast majority of clinical use needs
    .
    This is undoubtedly good news
    for many people who are suffering from dental diseases.
    Some netizens said, "The time is just right, I will go to implant teeth in a few months", "If the price is halved, I will consider planting one"
    .
    Previously, Zhongxin Financial Reporter browsed the charging information of many dental hospitals and clinics in Beijing, and the prices were divided into multiple levels
    according to the different implants.
    The cost of imported dental implants from South Korea and the United States is less than 10,000 yuan, and the price of Swiss ITI dental implants is concentrated in more than 12,000 yuan, and the most expensive one is ALL-ON-FOUR U.
    S.
    ET implants, with a list price of up to 110,000 yuan
    .
    How much is the final price paid? However, if the price of the implant system is to be selected "dives", can patients use the selected implant products at the selected price? According to the information provided by the National Medical Insurance Administration, the implant systems with higher prices before centralized procurement were reduced from the median price of 5,000 yuan to about 1,850 yuan, and the median price of Aoyutai and Denteng implant systems, which had the largest market demand, dropped from about 1,500 yuan to about
    770 yuan 。 In this regard, the person in charge of the joint procurement office of the inter-provincial alliance said that in public medical institutions, medical service items and medical consumables are charged separately, and medical consumables implement a "zero difference" sales policy, and the winning price is the implant price
    that the patient finally pays 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.
    The person in charge also said that 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 medical institutions
    with reasonable prices 。 The person in charge of the joint procurement office of the inter-provincial alliance also made it clear that 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.
    The overall cost of implanting a tooth is expected to be halved 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.
    The person in charge of the joint procurement office of the inter-provincial alliance said that in the next step, the Sichuan Medical Insurance Bureau will take the lead in launching the crown bidding network in the near future to promote the price of crowns more transparent and reasonable, and other provinces will follow up in time to link Sichuan's crown hanging prices
    .
    "In addition to the high price of the material itself, the real high value of dental implants is the added value
    .
    " Some insiders once told reporters that if the service charging standard is not suppressed by policy, it is difficult to clarify the overall price reduction range
    .
    The person in charge of the joint procurement office of the inter-provincial alliance said that local medical insurance departments are synchronously carrying out the whole process of regulating the price 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%.
    The person in charge said that this 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
    .
    According to reports, it is expected that the results of this implant collection and the price of the crown hanging net after the auction 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 dental implant services
    after the price reduction.
