The cost of cancer cell crusher treatment was finally determined.
Two days later…
An exciting news once again went viral.
Oriental Pharmaceutical Company officially announced it.
After urgent consultations with the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the Price Bureau, the Development and Reform Commission, and the top three hospitals across the country.
The cost of cancer cell crusher treatment was finally determined.
For patients with early stage cancer, regardless of any type of cancer cells.
Only one course of treatment is needed, and they can be cured on the same day without hospitalization.
It costs 30,000 yuan to use the instrument for treatment once.
This 30,000 yuan will be reimbursed by medical insurance.
The reimbursement rate for urban employee medical insurance is 85% to 90%.
In other words, patients with medical insurance can cure early stage cancer.
After reimbursement, you only need to pay 3,000 to 4,500 yuan out of your own pocket.
For rural patients, 60% of the cost can be reimbursed if they have paid for the New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance.
After reimbursement, you need to pay 12,000 yuan out of your own pocket.
Although in comparison, the cost of curing early-stage cancer will be much higher than that of urban medical insurance.
But there is no way, it is not fair.
Urban employees have to pay hundreds of yuan per month for medical insurance, which is several thousand yuan a year.
And rural New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance only costs 350 yuan a year.
(Note: Whether in urban or rural areas, minors also have to pay for medical insurance, but they can choose not to pay.)
As for those patients who are unwilling to pay for medical insurance on weekdays with a fluke mentality.
There is no way, they can only pay for treatment at their own expense.
Otherwise, it will be very unfair to those patients who have paid for medical insurance.
If you are reimbursed for not paying for medical insurance.
Who will pay for medical insurance in the future?
This is just like buying car insurance.
It’s okay if you don’t buy it, no one forces you.
But if an accident happens and the compensation amount is large, you have to pay for it yourself.
Since you choose to save that little money and take such a big risk.
Then if something happens, you have to take responsibility yourself.
As for those who rush to make up for medical insurance after being diagnosed with cancer, thinking of taking advantage of the insurance company?
Impossible!
It’s totally impossible!
All major hospitals that can check for cancer are connected to the national network.
Once diagnosed with cancer, if you go to make up for medical insurance, you will be rejected.
Su Mo didn’t care too much about these patients.
They are all adults, so they have to be responsible for their own behavior.
30,000 yuan, 85% of Longguo families can afford it.
As for those relatives and friends who can’t borrow it, they can’t afford it even if they sell everything they have.
After the local government investigates the funds in their accounts to ensure that they are not deliberately pretending to be poor to take advantage of the insurance.
The treatment fee will be temporarily paid in advance, and the money can be repaid within three years, and there is no interest.
However, in order to prevent the old debtor from dragging his feet and not paying, an annual interest of 2.1% will be charged after three years.
If not a cent is paid after three years, the annual interest will be 613 yuan.
As for those who are poor, they are indeed poor families.
When using the cancer cell crusher for treatment, the cost will be fully reimbursed by the state.
In this way, every early-stage cancer patient in Longguo will not wait to die because of lack of money.
As for mid-stage cancer, it is a little troublesome.
Compared with early-stage cancer patients, lying in the cancer cell crusher can be cured and discharged on the same day.
Patients with mid-stage cancer need three courses of treatment.
Therefore, the cost of treatment is also 20,000 yuan more expensive than the early stage, requiring 50,000 yuan.
As for patients with advanced cancer, it is the most troublesome.
It takes ten courses of treatment, and it takes about ten days of treatment to recover.
Therefore, the cost of treatment is 80,000 yuan.
But after reimbursement by medical insurance, it will be much less.
If it is urban medical insurance, the minimum reimbursement rate is 85%.
To cure advanced cancer, you only need to pay 12,000 yuan out of your own pocket.
If it is reimbursed at 90%, you only need to pay 7,200 yuan out of your own pocket.
And those rural patients with advanced cancer who have paid 380 yuan for the New Rural Cooperative Medical Care.
According to the reimbursement rate of 60%, they need to pay 32,000 yuan out of their own pocket.
Compared with a bottle of medicine that sells for 40,000 yuan, you can only take Gleevec for one month.
Paying 32,000 yuan out of your own pocket to cure advanced cancer was something you would never have dreamed of before!
Therefore!
As soon as this news came out.
The whole country was boiling!
Especially cancer patients and their families.
After seeing such a conscientious price, and medical insurance reimbursement.
Everyone was excited and tears filled their eyes, and they kept saying that they were saved.
Even countless ordinary people in good health,
Everyone cheered for it.
After all, who can guarantee that they will not get sick in this life?
In today’s world where people are afraid of cancer, the fact that cancer has been conquered is definitely a great thing that everyone should celebrate!
As for those patients who once took the chance and did not pay for medical insurance in order to save money.
Everyone regretted beating their chests and stamping their feet, and their thighs were slapped purple.
At this time.
Just when countless Dragon people were celebrating.
Across the ocean…
Headquarters of Nova Pharmaceuticals.
President Andrew sat in his office chair with a gloomy face.
He quietly took out a cigar and lit it, and did not say a word for a long time.
The other executives sitting below were also silent.
For a while…
In the quiet conference room, the atmosphere was terribly depressing.
After a long time…
A blond executive in a suit and tie broke the weird atmosphere first:
“Mr. President!”
“In order to stop the loss in time, I suggest reporting to the headquarters.”
“Reduce the price of Gleevec by another 10,000 yuan.”
As soon as these words came out.
“Cough! Cough cough…”
Andrew, the president who was smoking a cigar.
He was choked and coughed violently.
After a long while.
He was choked until his eyes were full of tears and his lungs were burning.
If it was before the cancer cell crusher was developed.
The executive dared to suggest a price reduction.
Andrew promised that he would break his legs.
Gleevec is the only anti-cancer drug in the world, and the pricing power is still in his hands. How can there be a reason to reduce the price?
But now, Novartis Pharmaceuticals has encountered an unprecedented crisis!
Just the day after the cancer cell crusher was publicly released.
Nova Pharmaceuticals had to lower the price of Gleevec in Longguo.
From 40,000 yuan, it was reduced to 30,000 yuan.
But the expected rush to buy did not happen.
Instead, sales plummeted!
And it was an unprecedented, cliff-like plummet!
Because countless patients with early or mid-stage chronic myeloid leukemia directly chose to stop taking the medicine!
Why?
Even if an early-stage chronic myeloid leukemia patient does not take medicine, it will take three to five years before entering the mid-stage or late stage.
And Su Mo’s guarantee is that all cancer patients can receive treatment within one year.
In this way.
Even if Gleevec drops from the original 40,000 to 30,000 yuan per bottle.
Taking medicine for a year will cost 360,000, and it can only control the disease.
And the cancer cell crusher, which completely cures mid-stage cancer, only needs 30,000 yuan.
After medical insurance reimbursement, only a few thousand yuan is needed.
This account has been clearly calculated by patients in Longguo.
99% of patients in the early and middle stages directly choose to stop taking the medicine.
Nowadays, only those leukemia patients who have entered the late stage and have to rely on medication will continue to take the medicine as a last resort.
In this case.
The sales of Nova Pharmaceuticals have been halved, ushering in an unprecedented blood collapse!
