Core Insights - The new national medical insurance drug list was officially implemented on January 1, adding 114 new drugs, including long-acting growth hormones for children with endogenous growth hormone deficiency [1] Group 1: Drug Inclusion and Benefits - Two domestic long-acting growth hormone preparations included in the insurance are Yipei (from TeBao Biotech) and Jinpei (from JinSai Pharmaceutical), with Yipei being a class 1 new drug expected to launch in 2025 [2] - Long-acting growth hormones require administration only once a week, significantly reducing the number of injections by over 300 per year compared to traditional short-acting hormones, thus improving adherence and long-term management [2] Group 2: Price Adjustments - The price of Yipei 5mg was reduced from 1798 yuan to 853.2 yuan, a decrease of approximately 53%, while Jinpei's price was reported to drop from about 3500 yuan to approximately 900 yuan, a reduction of about 75% [2] - The actual price for Jinpei may vary as it still requires negotiations with local insurance bureaus, and the reported price of 900 yuan is considered an industry secret [2] Group 3: Financial Impact on Patients - For a child weighing 30 kg, the annual treatment cost with Jinpei was estimated to drop from about 120,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan after the price reduction, with potential further reductions based on local insurance reimbursement policies [5] - Families previously facing high treatment costs due to ineffective therapies will experience substantial relief from the new pricing structure [5]
