Group 1 - The National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) has released a document to optimize and standardize medical consumables related to bone, cartilage, and soft tissue implants, addressing the issues of "one product with multiple certificates, one certificate with multiple items, and one item with multiple regulations" [1] - The adjustment includes one primary category, 18 secondary categories, and 126 tertiary categories, resulting in the formation of 260 standardized medical insurance generic names [1] - The adjustment aims to enhance the scientific, rational, and practical aspects of classification by optimizing the primary category name from "orthopedic materials" to "bone, cartilage, and soft tissue materials" [1] Group 2 - The new classification will reflect innovative material characteristics in the generic names, supporting the rapid application of innovative products such as absorbable anchors and plates, which can degrade in the body and eliminate the need for secondary surgeries [2] - The adjustment incorporates "absorbable/non-absorbable" as part of the generic names for relevant products, taking into account the clinical value of innovative products [2]
