Abstract:
Objective To explore and study the new nationwide centralized volume-based procurement model of Chinese patent medicines(CPM),aiming further to promote the normalization and institutionalization of such procurement practices.Methods This study conducts a retrospective analysis of the entire 2023 national CPM procurement process,comparing it with the 19-province alliance procurement,the national chemical drugs procurement,and the national insulin special procurement and highlighting its similarities and differences.Results In contrast to the 19-province alliance procurement,the national CPM alliance procurement introduced a daily average cost rule to reduce the price selection deviation.It also improved and optimized the criteria for qualification,bidding unit formation principles,selection rules,resurrection mechanisms,and principles for allocating procurement volumes under agreements.A comprehensive analysis of the results from two rounds of CPM procurement indicates statistically significant differences in resurrection rates,brand substitution rates,and reduction in selected prices,with the national procurement outperforming the 19-province alliance procurement.Compared with the national chemical drugs and special insulin procurements,this procurement distinctly showcases its unique characteristics.Conclusion The new mode of the national CPM alliance procurement is innovative and has contributed valuable experiences towards the sustained advancement of CPM procurement and establishing a medical insurance payment standard system.
