4hw.com.cn: "I'm not the God of medicine" the box office of the film is soaring, and the life-saving drug Gleevec in the film has become the focus of many people's attention. At the end of the film, it shows that 19 provinces in China have included Gleevec in the medical insurance reimbursement, so which provinces have included Gleevec in the medical insurance reimbursement by 2018?
Gleevec, one of the most effective drugs in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor and other fatal diseases, has made many patients love and hate each other.
Gleevec's high-priced medicine caused heated discussion in the society, which originated from the event of purchasing Indian anticancer drugs in 2015. Lu Yong was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002. At that time, Gleevec, a special drug for leukemia, was 23500 yuan / box. "The drug was very light, and the price was 20 times that of gold.".
One day in 2004, focusing on the collection of treatment methods, he saw the hope that Indian generic drugs were dozens of times cheaper than genuine ones. He bought generic drugs for his patients, but was taken away by the police on suspicion of selling fake drugs and finally released.
Now, Gleevec has been included in the medical insurance by many provinces. In case of 120 boxes, 75% of the medical insurance will be reimbursed and 25% of the medical insurance will be taken care of by itself, that is, 7500 boxes. But there are still a lot of patients who are confused. Which provinces have included Gleevec in the medical insurance to be reimbursed?
According to the incomplete statistics of the small edition, at present, there are many provinces and cities that have documented the coverage of Gleevec, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Chengdu, Henan, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Hainan, Xinjiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and Shaanxi. The reimbursement ratio of each province is 50% - 75%, far less than that of the 19 provinces (not excluding the statistical errors).
According to the spirit of Document No. 72 of Jiangsu Provincial Human Resources Department, Gleevec has been included in Jiangsu medical insurance, and patients in Nanjing, Suzhou and other cities have enjoyed reimbursement policies.
As early as January 1, 2015, Zhejiang Province took the lead in taking the initiative to include 15 kinds of high-priced drugs necessary for treatment of leukemia, cancer, etc., with definite curative effect, into the scope of medical insurance, including Gleevec.
However, there are still many provinces and regions in China that still do not include "Gleevec" in the scope of medical insurance payment, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing.
There is also a case where Gleevec has been covered by medical insurance, but the patients respond that reimbursement is difficult.
Price in different parts of the country:
Regional price
RMB 23-25800 / box in mainland China
HK $1700-19000 / box
US $13600 / box
Japan 16000 yuan / box
9700 yuan / box in Korea
But fortunately, for the 25000 Gleevec in a month, there are assistance projects in China Charity Federation. After three months of purchase, nine months of assistance, and one year, plus the cost of hanging the expert number, it's almost 75000, not including all kinds of inspection costs.
In addition, all the patients who have been included in the reimbursement of medical insurance in all provinces have at least reduced most of the burden. I also believe that in the future, the medical system can consider ordinary people more in the pricing of anti-cancer drugs!
