Can the price of teeth "cool down"?The State Medical Insurance Bureau shot

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, oral health has received more attention.

Can the price of a new plan for the medical insurance bureau "cool down"?

"Dental implants" can be comparable to real teeth due to the appearance and service life. Although the price is expensive, it is still the rigid need for many patients. However, problems such as irregular fees and heavy cost burdens in the field of oral planting have long existed, and have become pain points for people's livelihood to trouble the masses.

The State Medical Security Bureau recently announced the "Notice on the Price Governance of Oral Planting Medical Services and Special Governance of Consumption (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)". The "Notice" proposes to promote dental implants, do a good job of price control around the entire process of dental implants, and effectively reduce the burden on patients.

Why is it expensive to plant teeth? How far is it from "freedom of planting teeth"?

Will the price be reduced by the dental implants? Where is the dental implants expensive? What is the role of the National Medical Insurance Bureau's public opinion on the public opinion?

Dental implants are a lack of dental repair technology, which has the advantages of good dental function recovery, appearance and approach to real teeth. The price of dental implants depends on the two aspects of materials and doctors. Most of the implants are titanium alloys, but different brands of materials are different, and the production process has its own advantages. In general, import implants are more expensive than domestic implants. Among the import brands, the price of European and American implants will be higher than other Asian brands, so the price span is ranging from 6,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

Dental implants are not only expensive for implants and other materials, but also the costs of surgery and repair treatment also occupy a large part. The person in charge of multiple dental hospitals said that the key to a dental implants is the technical level of doctors. A professional dentist generally needs more than ten years of learning and clinical experience.

Therefore, we know why farming is so expensive. One is the material and the other is expensive for surgery. Some people say that "a bite of teeth, a car", what is the reason for the expensive price?

How much does it cost to plant a teeth?

Jiang Changsong, assistant to the dean of the National Medical Security Research Institute of the Capital Medical University: The cost of a dental implant is very different in various medical institutions at all levels. It may reach 30,000 to 40,000. The cost of medical services, this part is that some places in various places are superimposed according to a single project, and some places may be packed. For example, 10,000 yuan for dental implants includes both consumables and artificially. Why is it not standardized? It is very chaotic, no particularly clear (saying), and this dental implants are also very discrete.

Where is the new plan of the National Medical Insurance Bureau "new"?

The "Draft for Soliciting Opinions" announced by the State Medical Insurance Administration mentioned in the name "Special Governance of Medical Service Charges and Consumption Price." These are two pain points that are aimed at dental implants.

Look at the price of consumables first. Dental implants have not been included in medical insurance, so how can the material cost be reduced? The "Draft for Soliciting Opinions" mentioned that it is necessary to carefully organize centralized procurement of dental implants, and to form a provincial provincial procurement alliance for dental implants. The "collection" here is centralized procurement of medical insurance. So, how do you bring medical insurance? How to "purchase"?

How to bring medical insurance? How to concentrate?

The "Notice" clearly states that the collection of dental implants will be led by the Sichuan Provincial Medical Security Bureau to form the provincial provincial provincial procurement alliance, and all provinces should participate. The concentrated and quantity procurement of dental implants adheres to the basic principles of recruitment and consumption, and the volume and price are linked. It fully considers the characteristics of dental implants production, supply and clinical use, and guides enterprises to compete fairly. The centralized procurement is based on a complete set of implant systems, including implants, repair base platforms, and accessories covering screws, healing base platforms, metastasis rods, alternatives.

Jiang Changsong, assistant to the dean of the National Medical Security Research Institute of the Capital Medical University: Then the purchase of this time is nominally a provincial alliance with volume procurement, but it is actually a variety of medical institutions at all levels in the country, including all of our implants Supply companies and crown supply companies will participate in the special governance work of the oral cavity. Therefore, the market for this time is all the dosage of the country. It is believed to be attractive to medical institutions, dentists, and patients. Purchasing with volume can form a reasonable price of your own.

National Medical Insurance Bureau: Completion of dental implants before the end of this year

The reporter also learned from the National Medical Insurance Bureau that at present, the Sichuan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau has reported the relevant work plan of the collection of the National Medical Insurance Bureau. The State Medical Insurance Bureau will conduct a wide range of investigations on the plan. According to the current work arrangement, dental implants will be completed by the end of this year.

Can "medical insurance band collection" make the price of tooth "dive"?

When it comes to "collection", the intuitive feeling of ordinary people is that the price is about to fall. So, will oral planting usher in "diving and price reduction" by collecting collection?

Jiang Changsong, assistant to the dean of the National Medical Security Research Institute of the Capital Medical University: Special governance, the first part is to regulate the charges of oral planting medical services, and the second part is the purchase of planting materials. Limited procurement is a systematic project led by the medical insurance department. It requires scientific product grouping, reasonable competition and selection rules. It is also necessary to improve the supporting measures after the selection in order to squeeze the virtual high price.

Earlier, the collection of medical devices such as cardiac stents and artificial joints came to the ground, bringing a significant price reduction. Among them, the average price of the cardiac stent dropped from about 13,000 yuan to about 700 yuan, the average price of artificial hip joints dropped from 35,000 yuan to about 7,000 yuan, and the average price of artificial knee joints dropped from 32,000 yuan to about 5,000 yuan. So, will oral planting usher in "diving and price reduction" by collecting collection? Jiang Changsong, assistant to the dean of the National Medical Security Research Institute of the Capital Medical University: In the process of heart stent implantation and arthric joint replacement, the cost of consumables accounts for 60%to 70%of the total cost. Essence About one -third of dental implants are materials (fees), and two -thirds are labor and technical expenses. Therefore, it is difficult to comprehensively reduce the cost of dental implants for the purchase of consumables.

Can the market share of private institutions be involved in high proportion?

Patients with dental implants know that many private medical institutions have carried out dental implants. The notice of the Medical Insurance Bureau also proposed that it is necessary to promote the development of dental implants and strengthen the supervision and guidance of oral planting in the oral cavity of private medical institutions. So the question is. In the past, the collection of drugs and consumables was mainly concentrated in public medical institutions. So this time, does the collection of private institutions willing to participate?

Jiang Changsong, assistant to the dean of the National Medical Security Research Institute of Capital Medical University: At present, there are more private hospitals than public hospitals, and the amount of oral planting services for private medical institutions can account for two -thirds. This time we encouraged private medical institutions to participate whether it is collective or price governance. This time is equivalent to a market in the country, all planting markets in exchange for a relatively cheap price. This is also very good for private medical institutions to save costs in the future. With the expansion of aging demand, the future planting of private medical institutions is that the amount of dental implants will definitely have a very large improvement. If so, if it can be purchased more preferential than now, it will save costs. It is good to attract patients and create market reputation.

Can the price of "teeth" reduce the "service fee surgery"?

Dental implants are reduced by collecting prices, how can related service prices be reasonable and transparent? The "Notice" also proposed that the masses reported that the implant fees, crowns, and bone planting costs were mainly reduced.

Among them, the government's guidance price is significantly higher than the average price of private medical institutions in the region. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of public welfare, special demonstration and focus on price reductions.

The service prices such as dental implants of private medical institutions implement market regulation, and ensure the authenticity, timeliness, and integrity of publicity information. It is not possible to deceive patients with false subsidies and low prices.

Of course, for private dental hospitals with a relatively good amount of dental implants in the region and economically outstanding planting costs, the local medical insurance bureau can carry out publicity and publicity on the official website, and guide patients to go to these medical institutions to plant planting. tooth.
