Pharmaceutical Pricing, Reimbursement Environment in China

Description:

Introduction
Given its sizeable population and rapid urbanization, China represents a potentially lucrative market for drug manufacturers. But the lure of marketing drugs in China is tempered by China’s pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement system. Government price controls, extensive retail mark-ups, and wide regional variations in insurance all pose specific challenges for companies looking to enter the Chinese market.

When do manufacturers have input on NEDL selection?
As the composition of China’s rural and urban populations changes, so too does the level and variety of health care available to residents of these regions. What sort of drug reimbursement is provided by China’s various insurance schemes?
How will emerging insurance plans— including private insurance—affect patients’ ability to obtain medical care?
