Zhu Chen said that in order to promote the reform of separating medicine from medicine and cancel the drug addition policy, the hospital's reduced income or loss can be solved by adding pharmaceutical service fees, adjusting some technical service fees and increasing government investment, and the pharmaceutical service fees will be included in the reimbursement scope of basic medical insurance. Appropriately increase the price of technical services, and reduce the high fees for drugs, medical consumables and some large-scale medical equipment.
[Interpretation by Zhu Chen] At present, people generally think that medicines in hospitals are more expensive. One of the important reasons is that hospitals can charge a price increase of 7%- 15% for drugs sold. The reform of public hospitals has been determined, which will prohibit hospitals from selling drugs and raising prices. The government will make up for the hospital's reduced income by increasing pharmaceutical service fees, raising the price of hospital technical services and increasing government investment.
The so-called pharmaceutical service fee refers to the fees paid by patients to enjoy services such as doctor's diagnosis and dispensing.
According to the reporter's understanding, whether to add the "pharmaceutical service fee" has been debated for many years. Previously, at the hearings of the National Development and Reform Commission in Guangzhou and other places, most hearing representatives questioned that the pharmaceutical service fee "increased the burden on patients in disguise". Therefore, this plan will include "drug expenses into basic medical insurance", which is expected to reduce the resistance to reform.
