Latest Medical Robot Pricing Standards:From “Charging by Equipment” to “Charging by Clinical Output

图片
  With the rapid adoption of   medical and surgical robots   in clinical practice, pricing and reimbursement have become increasingly important topics across the healthcare ecosystem. Hospital administrators, clinicians, regulators, and payers are all asking the same question: How can medical robot pricing fairly reflect technological value without placing excessive financial burdens on patients or insurance systems? At the end of 2025, China’s National Healthcare Security Administration released the  Guidelines for Establishing Price Items for Surgical and Therapeutic Auxiliary Operations (Draft for Public Consultation)  (hereinafter referred to as the “Guidelines”). This document marks a significant turning point in the pricing framework for medical robots— shifting from equipment-based charging to output- and value-based charging . surgical navigation robot I. A Fundamental Shift in Pricing Logic 1. Traditional Model: Charging by Equipment Historically, medic...

  The trigeminal nerve is the primary somatosensory nerve of the face and consists of three branches: the ophthalmic branch, the maxillary branch, and the mandibular branch, which are responsible for sensory transmission in the forehead, midface (including the cheek), and lower jaw regions, respectively. When the trigeminal nerve is subjected to vascular compression, neoplastic invasion, or inflammatory stimulation, it can easily lead to paroxysms of excruciating pain. This pain is typically described as electric shock-like (lancinating), stabbing, or burning in nature, and is often triggered by everyday activities such as washing the face, brushing teeth, or chewing, thereby severely affecting the patient’s quality of life. 01 Minimally Invasive Interventional Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia In the minimally invasive interventional treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, radiofrequency thermocoagulation has become one of the most widely used clinical techniques due to its simple pro...
