What is the National Basic Medical Insurance Drug Catalog?
In order to ensure the basic medical needs of insured persons and standardize the management of basic medical insurance drug use, the state has formulated a basic medical insurance drug catalog. The medical insurance fund shall pay the relevant medical expenses incurred by insured persons in accordance with the medical insurance drug catalog in accordance with the regulations.
Since its establishment in 2018, the National Medical Insurance Administration has established and improved a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the medical insurance drug catalog. In principle, the medical insurance drug catalog will be adjusted once a year, and drugs that meet the basic conditions such as clinical necessity, safety and effectiveness, and reasonable prices will be included in the medical insurance drug catalog.
