They sue me because the medicine is illegal, but if it is legal, they say I can't afford it?

Chapter 327 Is the exorbitant price of the drug already set?

……

"We'll think about it for a few days before responding to each other."

Chen Xuan stated this decision directly.

He had no intention of refusing, he just needed to think about it for a few days.

For the same conditions, agreeing directly is completely different from agreeing a few days later, and the latter will attract a larger group of people.

At that time, these people will have to thank him for this favor and will take better care of Antai Pharmaceutical Group in the future. This is the best network.

Of course, the main reason why he agreed was to be able to enter the collection and be reimbursed by medical insurance.

Whether or not there is medical insurance reimbursement will have a significant impact on sales.

If medical insurance were to cover the cost, it would be very likely that the sales of lung cancer-specific drugs would increase tenfold.

On the one hand, the cost of medicine after reimbursement is affordable for most patients, so they will naturally choose this medicine.

On the other hand, after it is included in the medical insurance, doctors will also give priority to recommending this drug, directly opening up the largest market.

If it is not included in the medical insurance, if Antai Pharmaceutical Group wants to open sales channels in so many hospitals and get so many doctors to recommend the lung cancer drug, it is unknown how long it will take to complete the distribution.

But after it enters the medical insurance, the distribution will be completed by the Medical Insurance Bureau and can directly enter all hospitals. At least this drug will be available in public hospitals.

There is no doubt that this is the most convenient approach, which can save Antai Pharmaceutical Group time and resources in distributing products. This product originally required other costs, but now no further investment is required.

Moreover, sales after listing will reach the highest level at the fastest speed.

Whether it is collected or not, it may take more than a year.

After all, the sales process for a new drug is very long, and there may be no sales at all in the first two years.

Many best-selling drugs that generate tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars a year had very low sales when they were first launched on the market. They became best-sellers only through the accumulation of time.

But if you can enter the collection, you can directly save the entire process, making it easier to achieve the highest sales.

Therefore, the reason why Chen Xuan can accept a monthly medical expense of 5000 yuan is actually because he is interested in entering the Medical Insurance Bureau.

This condition was the main reason why he agreed, and the rest were just icing on the cake.

After having the idea in mind, Chen Xuan did not hold any meetings.

In fact, there was no need to hold a meeting for this matter. His conversation with Luo Shiyun was the content of the meeting.

As long as both parties feel there is no problem, then others don't need to have any opinions, just follow the requirements.

Of course, this process still has to be carried out, mainly for outsiders to see and let the outside world know that Antai Pharmaceutical Group has worked hard for this.

But this process does not require him, Luo Shiyun is enough.

So after making this decision, Chen Xuan went to do other things and didn't waste any more time here.

His experiments are still ongoing, and the clinical trials here also require him to follow up.

The phase III clinical trial of a lung cancer drug is about to end, and he needs to be responsible for the final step.

Therefore, he now has neither the time nor the energy to do other things and needs to pass this hurdle first.

……

"I heard that Antai Pharmaceutical Group has already decided on the price of its lung cancer drug."

"I've heard that one box costs 5000 yuan, and I need to take four boxes a month, which means 2 yuan a month in medicine costs."

"WC, 2 a month, how can patients afford this medicine? Most patients can only wait to die. This medicine is too expensive."

"I heard the Medical Insurance Bureau even contacted Chen Xuan, but in the end, they couldn't reach an agreement. Antai Pharmaceutical Group insisted on selling the price at 20000 and refused to reduce it even a penny. In the future, patients... ah!"

"No, Novartis can sell it for 20,000, but Antai Pharmaceutical Group can't sell it for 20,000? Are you discriminating? Why can foreign companies do it?"

"Antai Pharmaceutical Group is a Chinese company, so it should sell at a lower price. Why should it compare itself with foreign companies? How can a state-owned enterprise justify selling at such a high price in China?"

"Since you're so generous, why don't you donate all your salary? All to buy medicine for patients in need?"
