分享主题:The Effects of Demand-side Policies on the Implementation of Centralized Volume-based Procurement
摘要:Since late 2018, China's centralized volume-based procurement (CVBP) strategy for pharmaceuticals has introduced a pivotal innovation: the promised volume to pharmaceutical firms as a percentage of projected demand. This promise serves as a powerful incentive for firms to reduce prices in exchange for increased market share. The success of CVBP crucially depends on fulfilling these promised volumes. Utilizing comprehensive nationwide data from hospital molecule-level procurement orders between 2019 and mid-2023, this study evaluates how well these volumes have been met and examines the subsequent effects on the market shares of procured drugs, the average prices, and total drug expenditures under CVBP. Our analysis also delves into the demand-side incentives, such as supportive payment and balance policies, that facilitate the effective implementation of CVBP. Results indicate a significant uptick in the usage and overall consumption of winning drugs, coupled with reductions in the use of non-winning drugs and average prices of all drugs, thereby curbing total drug expenditures. We found that supportive payment policies doubled their intended effectiveness, whereas balance policies achieved only a third of this impact, underscoring that financial incentives targeted at patients are more critical than those aimed at physicians for the successful execution of CVBP.
