Foreign price reference system

Committee:

No progress
Published:
Under the previous revision (R4), if the highest price in the case of three or more foreign countries exceeds the additive average of the other prices by 1.6 times, it was revised to deem the highest price to be equivalent to 1.6 times the additive average of the other prices.

Recommendations

  • Proposed abolishment of the foreign price repricing system. (When it cannot be abolished, it will not be lowered if the foreign price ratio is 1 times or less on an added average that does not apply the exclusion rule, and it is proposed to relax the upper limit of the reduction by 50%.)
  • It was proposed that the functional classification in which the hospital delivery price exceeds the reimbursement price (inverse Zaya) be excluded from the object classification of the foreign price repricing system from the viewpoint of stable supply.
  • It was proposed that a review of 1.25 times, the comparative level of foreign prices, as well as newly listed and repriced products, be not carried out.
