It analyzes the main problems faced by the current price item specification: the overly detailed price items, the large re- gional differences, the pricing impact, and the disconnected patients’ feeling; the relationship between technical norms, new price items and price item norms is not clarified, affecting clinical improvement and innovation; consumables and reagents are packaged and charged within the items, not adapting to the law of price changes in material consumption and medical service costs; the content of the price item catalogue exclusions is not uniform across provinces, and there is a lack of articulation between registration of consum- ables and medical insurance payments. The policy recommendations for improving the price specifications for medical services include: integrating the existing price catalogues of medical services in different regions and unifying and updating the national price specifica- tions for medical services; linking the technical specifications for medical services with the price specifications to promote the clinical application of innovative medical technologies; relying on a unified national information platform for new and revised medical services prices to share the elements of linked price items; reflecting the separation of technology and consumption in the establishment of projects reflects the separation of technology and consumption, taking into account technological innovation and price laws, allowing hospitals to obtain returns on the value of technology; compiling a catalogue of disposable consumables that can be charged separately, maintaining a linkage with the registration of consumables and the policy of payment by medical insurance; the supervision of medical insurance funds and the declaration of new and revised price items by hospitals in synergy, allowing better clinical pricing and implemen- tation.
