Difficulty entering the hospital billing directory


The medical services of non-profit medical institutions are subject to government-guided prices, and the entry of new medical devices into the charging catalog must be approved. A company is a national high-tech enterprise that develops surgical and endoscopic equipment. The chairman of the company introduced that the price of tube supply is approved. It is a problem for innovative medical device companies. For example, the "visual abortion surgery attraction equipment" developed by the company has great medical demand, but only a few provinces in the country have entered the charging catalog. "The price approval in each province is too difficult, which affects the needs of patients for treatment." Zhang Sunggen, chairman of Beijing Tianzhihang, said hospitals generally would not purchase if they did not enter the fee catalog.

With the strong support of the local government, the orthopaedic surgery robot developed by the company entered the Beijing charging catalogue at the end of 2018, and the tube supply has entered the charging catalogue in only a few provinces across the country. The pricing lacks a unified standard, and the difference is large. The person in charge of a biotechnology company in Hangzhou introduced that the price of the tube supplying a provincial price department for a domestic alternative testing product for the company is only 40 yuan, and the cost is not enough. Other provinces are 200 yuan to 300 yuan, and similar imported products from the United States are priced at 800 yuan, the company had to give up the provincial market.
