Jiangxi Collective Procurement "Three Advances": Local procurement impact exceeds national procurement

Involved in 37 centralized procurement projectsFrom national procurement to regional and alliance procurement, the procurement project involving the most products is the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei 3+N Alliance Procurement, with a total of 267 product specifications. The following projects in descending order are the Nanchang Sodium Chloride and other injectables procurement, Hubei's first batch of traditional Chinese medicine continuation procurement, Guangdong's Apixaban procurement, Henan's nineteen-province procurement, and Jiangxi’s (national procurement batches 1-4) continuation procurement, involving 213, 197, 195, 134, and 113 product specifications respectively.

It can be seen that in the "three advances" of Jiangxi's collective procurement, the impact of local joint procurement has exceeded that of national procurement. This is a point that enterprises should pay attention to.

Private comprehensive tertiary medical institutions must stock no fewer than 80 types, and other private medical institutions must stock no fewer than 50 types.

The "Notice" adjusts the number of drug procurements equipped by private institutions from "no less than 50 types for comprehensive private hospitals and no less than 20 types for specialized hospitals" to "no less than 80 types for private comprehensive tertiary medical institutions and no less than 50 types for other private medical institutions." It encourages "three-entry" units to fill in their procurement demand volumes on the provincial pharmaceuticals procurement platform according to their needs and actively complete the agreed procurement volume.

Retail pharmacies can add a 15% markup, while private medical institutions must not exceed the selected price.

The Notice shows that, according to the relevant provisions of the "Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Prices and Centralized Procurement" policy in the 2025 version of the Medical Insurance定点 Service Agreement, the price policy stipulated in the Notice has been adjusted. Originally, it stated that "non-public medical institutions and retail pharmacies could sell at a markup of no more than 15% over the centralized procurement price." It is now revised to "designated non-public medical institutions must not sell selected drugs at a price higher than the procurement price; designated retail pharmacies may sell centralized procurement drugs at a markup of no more than 15% over the procurement price, with encouragement to sell at no higher than the procurement price."

Regions can explore linking the level of the quantity-price comparison index of designated retail pharmacies in their areas to the markup ratio of centrally procured drugs. For those with consistently high index levels, the markup ratio should be appropriately reduced to further promote the overall price of designated retail pharmacy medical insurance drugs toward a more reasonable range.
