It should also serve as a guide to all government entities to rationalize the procurement prices of medicines in the public sector. You can download your own copy here. Read the full list of drugs and how much they’re worth in the international market. What is the Drug Price Reference Index (DPRI)? The DPRI lists the ceiling prices of essential medicines for government bidding and procurement set by the DOH for all DOH Retained Hospitals and Regional Offices (ROs). Winning bid prices of essential medicines within the DPRI ceiling reflect efficient and effective procurement that facilitates consumer access to medicines and protection from excessive mark-ups of prices. The DPRI only reflects the acquisition costs including landed cost, packaging, drug content, quality assurance, manufacturing overheads and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fees. The DPRI excludes other costs such as pharmacy services, preparation and storage fees and applicable taxes to medicines (i.e. VAT), and other reasonable pharmacy mark-ups, which are now being evaluated by the DOH.
The DPRI aims to improve the efficiency and good governance in the pricing and procurement of medicines in the public sector through establishing a transparent and publicly available reference price for affordable and quality medicines. It also aims to guide the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC) in setting reimbursement caps for medicines both for inpatient and outpatient services. Who should use the DPRI? All government entities should be guided by the DPRI when procuring medicines. It shall be applied to all forms of procurement such as public bidding, direct contracting, shopping, negotiated procurement, emergency procurement and consignment to ensure that the government achieves the best value for money in sourcing essential medicines. What are the sources of the Price Data? The DPRI is computed based on the prevailing public tender prices of the previous year (2014) reflected in the actual Purchase Orders (POs) submitted by the DOH Retained Hospitals, ROs, Central Office Bids and Awards Committee (COBAC) and Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC) Pharma Inc. (PPI) to the DOH.
Only data coming from reputable suppliers are considered in the database which means that they should be licensed by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have a certificate of Good Manufacturing Practice issued by the FDA. How is the Drug Price Reference (DPR) determined? The DPR is set at the Median or the 50th percentile across the range of prevailing tender prices of essential medicines. For medicines with less than four (4) manufacturers, the DPR may be set at the lowest winning bid price from a reputable supplier. Projected inflationary costs have already been considered in the calculation of the DPR. For innovator drugs approved for inclusion in the Philippine National Formulary, the price may be set by referencing with relevant international markets particularly those with similar income status (i.e. Thailand, India). It may also be informed by economic evaluations conducted in the Philippines used by the DOH to value their claimed clinical benefits and negotiate tender prices where an innovative pharmaceutical pro-duct has only one sole supplier.
How often shall the DPRI be updated? The DPRI shall be updated annually. All DOH hospitals and ROs are directed to submit a copy of their POs of the previous year to the DOH Pharmaceutical Division at or before the end of the first quarter of the succeeding year. The updated DPRI shall be based on the procurement price data of medicines from the previous year. —From the Department of HealthFor a better experience on Facebook, switch to our basic site or update your browser.Security CheckCan't read the text above?Try another text or an audio CAPTCHAText in the box:What's this?Amazon Galleon iHerb Lazada Most Viewed Products Nature's Bounty Super B-Complex with Folic Acid Plus Vitamin C 150 Tablets, Nature's Bounty Women's Multivitamin Gummies Raspberry Flavored 80 Gummies, Nature's Bounty Authentic Advanced Collagen Beauty Formula Anti-aging Skin Brightening Firming, Hair grower, Joint Soother, with Vitamin C, Copper and Biotin bottle of 90 Tablets are the most viewed products this month.
