- Title
KRITIKA SISTEMA REFERENČNIH CEN ZDRAVIL.
- Authors
Festić, Mejra
- Abstract
The system of reference pricing was introduced in economies where the prices of drugs have been formed freely, and it has replaced the system of direct reimbursement control of specific drugs. The system of reference pricing is directed toward cost control rather than control of quantity consumed. The system of reference pricing has enabled the price of generics to increase, while the price of non-generic drugs has decreased. Because the system of reference pricing allows the price of generics to increase, the profits from innovative products have been redistributed in favor of generics.
