    .
    From January 1, 2022, the new version of the medical insurance catalog will be officially implemented, and the four domestic PD-1s are all included in the catalog
    .
    According to relevant industry media reports, many products have been reduced in price

    08 yuan/vial to 825.
    00 yuan/ 6ml: 240mg specification dropped from 2100.
    97 yuan/piece to 1912.
    96 yuan/piece; BeiGene Tislelizumab 10ml: 100mg dropped from 2180 yuan/piece to 1450 yuan, a price reduction of 33%

    .
    Not only domestic varieties, but also imported varieties are affected by the impact of domestic varieties, and measures have been taken to reduce the burden on patients
    .
    For example, in the past, patients using K medicine cost nearly 300,000 yuan per year after charitable assistance.
    In 2021, the K medicine patient assistance project released a new plan: From January 1, 2021, patients only need to pay for 4 courses of treatment and cost 140,000 yuan.
    You can get full assistance with K medicine

    O Medicine has also updated the patient assistance project.
    The plan announced in 2020 is: from the original "first 3+3, follow-up 3+4 cycle" to the annual "3+3, follow-up 3+X", that is, those that meet the project standards A patient, who pays up to 6 times of Odivo’s treatment costs during the application year, can receive all the drug assistance remaining in the application year.
    The patient can repeat the application for assistance according to the application year until the program is terminated or the disease progresses
    .
    With the release of the new plan, the annual out-of-pocket ratio of patients has dropped by more than 75% compared with the listed price, and the burden of drug expenses has been further reduced
    .
    The industry predicts that in the case of the crowded PD-1/L1 track, the price reduction of PD-1/L1 products may become a trend in the "ordinary people's homes" in the future, which will be a great boon for the majority of patients
