國家發改委發聲 公立醫院9月底前全部取消藥品加成

All public hospitals have been told to end the longtime practice of drug price markups by the end of September as part of the ongoing healthcare Reform, the National Development and Reform Commission said last Wednesday.

國家發展和改革委員會上週三表示，已要求所有公立醫院於9月底前取消長期以來實施的藥品加成，作爲正在進行的醫療改革的部分舉措。

Public hospitals' loss of revenue will be offset for the most part by an increase in the prices of medical services, the commission said.

該委員會表示，公立醫院減少的收入將主要由提高醫療服務價格進行補償。

Since the 1950s, public hospitals have been selling drugs at a markup. The maximum is 15 percent.

從20世紀50年代開始，公立醫院一直在加價售藥，最高時加價達15%。

Charges related to the expertise of medical staff, like those for diagnosis, surgery and rehabilitation, will rise, while those for tests requiring major medical equipment will drop, the commission said.

國家發改委表示，診療、手術、康復等體現醫務人員專業技能的項目價格將提高，大型醫用設備檢驗價格將降低。

The commission also is requiring local price regulators to carry out other necessary reforms following the measure, including changing medical insurance payments so rising service fees are covered by insurance reimbursement.

國家發改委還要求，當地物價管理機構推行其他必需的配套改革，包括改變醫保支付方式，提高的醫療服務收費要納入醫保報銷範圍。

Many public hospitals in China had already abolished drug price markups before the announcement. In Beijing, more than 3,600 medical institutions had abolished the practice starting April 8.

我國許多公立醫院在發改委宣佈該政策前，就已取消藥品加成。北京3600多家醫療機構本月8日起就已取消藥品加成。
