Beware of the impact of drug price linkage before mass purchase!

Text | Manchester United striker

The official documents for five batches and six rounds of national volume procurement have been officially announced
.

The author randomly researched the price limit of some products, and some have a lot of room for price limit.

The lowest price of 250ml mainstream provincial winning bid is 408.
5 yuan, while the official price limit is 281.
6293 yuan
.

Why is the price in the mainstream market so high and the official price limit is so low?

The reason why the above-mentioned price gap is large, the author thinks about it, the reason is the statistical caliber
.

The most likely reason is that the volume purchase prices of various regions from last year to the present have been collected by the country's volume purchases, resulting in a low price limit

The current price linkage is roughly divided into three forms:

One is the linkage of purchase price with quantity
.

Places like Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places have successively issued articles to link prices to the results of large-volume purchases across the country

The second is the linkage of non-volume purchase prices
.

That is to say, the current widespread practice in the industry, basically the general requirement is to allow companies to independently declare the minimum purchase price of drugs (including distribution costs), and at the same time require all the dosage forms, specifications, and packaging of the drugs to be filled in all provinces across the country within a certain period of time.

The third is the non-volume purchase price linkage with the volume purchase price
.

This situation once occurred at the zero point in a certain place, but it is not universally representative

In the context of the intensive introduction of relevant national policies, the price linkage of various provinces is undoubtedly "the action is right!" Using the low prices of other provinces for my use can maximize the avoidance of resource consumption and cost waste, and it is also a transitional stage of wisdom.

The author understands that the prerequisite for the implementation of price linkage in various provinces is to fully learn from the spirit of the country’s volume-based procurement and exchange prices with quantities.

At present, most provinces have price linkages, and it has almost become common practice not to collect in three regions, namely Guangdong, Chongqing, and Fujian
.

Guangdong is an innovation in the model of the Pharmacy Exchange.

What's more, some monasteries use clever tricks in the process of price dynamic linkage
.

Specifically, that is: the packaging of products that meet the price difference, the price of the single grain calculated by the price difference is the same, but the price of the single grain directly except for the packaging is not the same, the single grain price of the large package will be lower than that of the small package
.
At present, the most common method for the linkage of provincial bidding and procurement prices is to carry out the packaging difference ratio
.
That is, the price difference between the same common name, the same dosage form, the same specification, and different packaging is carried out
.
However, this kind of difference ratio, due to the self-understanding of the rules of price difference and comparison in various provinces, often cannot work in a unified manner and act independently.
The result is that for an enterprise, the price between the same generic name, the same dosage form, the same specification, and different packaging is higher.
The lower the difference
.

And this kind of price linkage using the space of the difference ratio is undoubtedly an injury that will damage the company's price by 800 before the bidding price is reduced, and the devastating impact on the market is also huge
.
At present, the state has extremely formal regulations on the price difference comparison of medicines
.
Since the Medical Insurance Bureau has not issued a new price difference comparison rule, it is recommended that all provinces strictly follow the price difference comparison rule.
As an enterprise market entry personnel, you must also have a clear understanding of the change pattern of price linkage
