Group 1: Drug Catalog Adjustments - The 2025 drug catalog adjustments implement a "dual-track system," focusing on basic insurance for essential drugs while providing supplementary coverage for "exclusive new drugs" or "rare disease medications" through the commercial insurance innovative drug catalog [1][2]. - A total of 718 applications were received for the basic medical insurance catalog, with 534 approved, while 141 applications were received for the commercial insurance innovative drug catalog, with 121 approved [1][2]. Group 2: CAR-T Therapies - CAR-T therapies, which are personalized cancer treatments, have gained attention due to their high costs, with prices exceeding 1 million yuan per injection for several products [1][2]. - The article highlights that CAR-T therapies are among the first specialty drugs to be included in commercial insurance coverage, with various regions like Jiangsu and Shanghai incorporating them into their insurance plans [2]. Group 3: Drug Composition and Approval Process - The approved drugs are predominantly Western medicines, with over 98% of the list, and only two traditional Chinese medicines included [3]. - The approval of drugs through preliminary review does not guarantee inclusion in the basic medical insurance or commercial insurance catalogs, as further expert evaluations and price negotiations are required [3]. Group 4: Pricing and Negotiation - Approximately 80 drug varieties passed the preliminary review for both the basic medical insurance and commercial insurance catalogs, indicating potential for simultaneous negotiations [3]. - Drugs that exceed the basic insurance pricing limits may still qualify for the next evaluation stage, but their final inclusion depends on successful negotiations [3].
