Kamu ilaç harcamalarının bütün ülkelerde belirgin bir biçimde arttığı görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla ilaç harcamalarının kontrol altına alınması yönündeki tartışmalar önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bu yüzden ilaç harcamalarının kontrolü amacıyla en sık kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan referans fiyat birçok ülkede uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Referans fiyat sistemi ilgili otoritenin ya da sigorta şirketinin belli bir grupta yer alan ilaçlar için geri ödemeye esas en yüksek düzeyin belirlerlendiği bir sistemdir. İlaç piyasasına yönelik bu şekildeki bir düzenlemenin rekabetin artmasını sağlayarak ilaç fiyatlarında ve harcamalarında azalmaya neden olacağı varsayılmaktadır

Anahtar Kelimeler
