textInnovative drugs refer to "new chemical entities oriented by clinical application, with independent intellectual property rights, and new drugs with new targets or new mechanisms to produce new therapeutic effects; or those with outstanding clinical treatment advantages in diseases for which there is no effective treatment.

Stakeholders refer to "people who can influence the achievement of an organization's goals, or are affected by the process of an organization's achievement of its goals" [7]

01Patients ' Financing Improvement PathIn order to reduce the economic burden, the patient side usually adopts consumer loans and installment payment to share the pressure of medical out-of-pocket expenses, but the actual effect is not good, and the financing model links disease treatment to the patient's income and personal credit , which may lead to moral hazard

Thoughts on multiple financing paths for innovative drugs in my country
Thoughts on multiple financing paths for innovative drugs in my country01 General idea
01 General idea"Expanding financing channels, innovating financing methods, and participating in multiple subjects" has become an international consensus to balance the interests of all parties and solve the problem of innovative drug financing
02 Specific path
02 Specific path1.
1.
See Figure 3
The first level is the national medical security, which is borne by the social security fund and financed , including social medical insurance and medical assistance , and provides basic medical security to all citizens equally
.
The second level is the supplementary medical insurance that emphasizes collective responsibility .
Under the support of specific policies, the employer and the employees jointly contribute and raise funds, which is an important supplement to the basic medical insurance
.
The third level is commercial health insurance , including special drug insurance, critical illness insurance, urban inclusive insurance, critical illness insurance, mutual health insurance and other insurance products.
Individuals sign insurance contracts with insurance institutions to encourage and regulate commercial insurance suitable for innovative drug characteristics.
The product has become a key project to improve the level of patient financing
.
The fourth level is social charity and mutual medical assistance , drawing on international experience to try various forms of assistance such as charitable medicine donations, patient membership, special funds, and patient assistance , and relying on social forces to solve the drug problems of extremely difficult groups [16]
.

Multi-pronged approach to improve the affordability of medical insurance funds
Multi-pronged approach to improve the affordability of medical insurance funds
The financing of medical insurance funds should be "open source and reduce expenditure".
On the one hand , part of the state-owned capital should be transferred to enrich the social security fund , and at the same time, the payment standard should be appropriately adjusted according to the level of regional economic development ; The normalization of centralized procurement and other work will improve the bargaining power of official negotiation, prompting pharmaceutical companies to reduce prices, thereby improving the affordability of medical insurance funds to pay for innovative drugs .
In the access of innovative drug medical insurance, refer to international experience and try risk-sharing agreements, performance-based payment, health technology assessment and other approaches to avoid budget expenditure risks caused by uncertain evidence and clinical efficacy, thereby reducing the financial burden of payers and improving patient outcomes.
access to medicines .
In addition, in order to prevent collusion and moral hazard in the application process of innovative drugs, according to the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of the Use of Medical Insurance Funds", the responsibilities of relevant subjects are clarified, fund use behaviors are regulated, fund supervision is strictly implemented, and the security of medical insurance funds is effectively guaranteed .
3.
Establish a drug R&D incentive and compensation mechanism
Establish a drug R&D incentive and compensation mechanism
Establish a special fund to stimulate the development of the pharmaceutical innovation industry .
First , while the financing method remains unchanged, it will be allocated and established proportionally from the existing medical insurance fund ; the second is voluntary payment by the insured and part of the financial subsidy from the financial department.
Form an independent innovative drug reimbursement fund; thirdly, refer to international experience and enrich the fund by taxing specific transactions and seeking support from relevant international
funds[17] .
Through the establishment of a medical insurance innovative drug development fund to support the reimbursement of innovative drugs with outstanding clinical effects, so that they can quickly open the market within a limited patent period, recover R&D costs, and conduct secondary R&D, thereby guiding the R&D direction of drug manufacturers
.
At the same time, it actively supports the overseas authorization of innovative drugs independently developed by China , and obtains profits through various forms such as "down payment + mileage + sales commission" , and recovers the cost of research and development .
In addition, the priority approval system for innovative drugs should be further optimized, green channels for registration and approval should be unblocked, property rights protection should be strengthened, and innovative drugs with high clinical value should enter the market as soon as possible .
Second , the insured is voluntarily paid by the insured and some funds are subsidized by the financial department .
Authorize "down payment + mileage + sales commission"
4.
Encourage early talks and pilot projects for innovative drug financing
Encourage early talks and pilot projects for innovative drug financing
Whether the international experience of innovative drug financing can play the greatest role in China's national conditions still needs further discussion and verification
.
Therefore, various stakeholders should be encouraged to conduct early conversations , explore important factors affecting the implementation of innovative drug financing methods, and reach a consensus on building the best financing path framework
.
Early dialogue can enable various stakeholders to gain insight into product uncertainty earlier, and take relevant measures to reduce risks as early as possible.
For example, drug manufacturers can understand the financing challenges of other stakeholders before innovative drugs enter Phase III clinical trials , ensuring clinical trials.
The trial design incorporates the considerations of other stakeholders, improves the rationale for the evidence collection plan, and maximizes the chances of the drug being included in the Medicare Drug List
.
At the same time, pilot projects for financing innovative drugs are encouraged to explore the best financing models for different types of innovative drugs
.
When conditions permit, the results and experience of pilot projects will be shared in a timely manner to further optimize the financing path for innovative drugs
