Timely bring qualified designated TCM medical institutions into the designated scope of direct settlement for medical treatment in other places. ③ For the traditional Chinese medicine technology derived from ancient classics, which is still widely used and has definite curative effect, as well as the new traditional Chinese medicine technology with outstanding innovative and economic advantages, simplify the review procedure of new price items and open up a green channel.

For areas that have implemented DRG and pay by disease score, appropriately improve the coefficients and scores of traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions and traditional Chinese medicine diseases, so as to fully reflect the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine services.
Maintain recommended ratings. After the release of the opinions, we can see that the national policies support the development of traditional Chinese medicine from top to bottom, and various specific measures are constantly being implemented. ① The terminal coverage of medical insurance is fully expanded. It is expected that the coverage of traditional Chinese medicine products by medical insurance will increase, and the prices of some traditional Chinese medicine medical services are expected to increase. Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, Chinese patent medicine and traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions will enjoy marginal increment, and the positive impact of decoction pieces and traditional Chinese medicine preparations in hospitals will be greater. ② Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces still maintain an additive proportion of no more than 25%. Chinese traditional Chinese medicine formula particles are included in decoction pieces management. In the future, traditional Chinese medicine formula particles are expected to continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in hospital channels. ③ Traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions do not implement DRG payment temporarily, and the disease type coefficient and score of traditional Chinese medicine have been appropriately increased in the implemented regions, indicating the government’s attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine and the overall support of medical insurance for traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to continue to pay attention to Zhangzhou Pientzehuang Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(600436) (600436), China Resources Sanjiu Medical & Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(000999) (000999), Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(002603) (002603), Yunnan Baiyao Group Co.Ltd(000538) (000538), Beijing Tongrentang Co.Ltd(600085) (600085), Guangzhou Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Holdings Company Limited(600332) (600332), Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co.Ltd(600535) (600535) with brand value and exclusive product advantages.
