China News Service, September 8. According to the WeChat public account of the National Medical Insurance Bureau on the 8th, the National Medical Insurance Bureau recently issued the "Notice of the National Medical Insurance Administration on Carrying out Special Treatment of Oral Implantation Medical Service Fees and Consumables Prices" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). "), the "Notice" clarifies that the price control target of the dental implant medical service part of the tertiary public hospitals is set at 4,500 yuan.
According to the interpretation of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the cost of oral implants is roughly divided into three parts: implants, crowns and medical services.
The prices of implants and crowns need to be generated through centralized procurement and bidding. Therefore, the "Notice" does not artificially set specific quantitative targets.
At present, public medical institutions purchase high-end brand implants at 4,000-6,000 yuan per set, and other implants at 2,000-3,500 yuan per set. There is room for inflated prices in the circulation process, and prices will drop to varying degrees after centralized procurement.
Most of the dental crowns purchased by public medical institutions from third-party processing factories cost more than 1,000 yuan.
According to the National Medical Insurance Administration, the cost of medical services accounts for a relatively high proportion of the overall cost of dental implants. According to the preliminary results of a recent nationwide registration survey, taking a single routine implantation in public medical institutions in various provinces as an example, the average cost of medical services. More than 6,000 yuan, and some provinces and cities cost more than 9,000 yuan, which has become one of the important reasons for the high cost of dental implants.
Looking further, there are various reasons for the high cost of medical services, including unreasonable project settings and excessive decomposition, and excessive pricing and indiscriminate charges.
Judging from the opinions solicited in the early stage, most opinions believe that the whole process cost should be guided to return to a reasonable range when standardizing the charging, and some opinions believe that the value of technical labor services, technical level, risk level and resource scarcity should be considered.
Based on the opinions of the masses, medical institutions, professionals and other parties, the price control target of the dental implant medical service part of the tertiary public hospital was finally set at 4,500 yuan.
For regions or medical institutions that meet certain conditions, the "Notice" also clarifies the conditions that allow appropriate relaxation.
The National Medical Insurance Bureau emphasized that in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice", each provincial medical security department will further merge and formulate and disclose the price control targets for the whole process of dental implants (including implants, dental crowns, etc.) dental crowns, medical services).
Through the comprehensive measures of the three components that constitute the cost of dental implants, the burden of dental implant costs for the masses will be effectively reduced.
