No 05-A005, IEAS Working Paper : academic research from Institute of Economics, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan

Abstract: 本文結合經濟理論分析與實證觀察,探討普遍存在東亞國家醫療市場的藥價差現象,也就是醫療院所藉著藥品給付(零售)價格與採購價格的差距,獲取利潤的現象。本文分析結果顯示,藥價差現象的產生,主要是根源於東亞國家的兩個重要醫療制度:(1)醫藥不分業,醫院同時擁有藥品處方權與調劑權;(2)醫院擁有龐大的門診部門,使醫院在藥品批發市場中具有獨買的力量。同時,本文進一步指出,藥價差的存在會對醫療市場產生三種價格扭曲效果,造成醫療市場資源配置效率的損失。本文分析結果的重要政策意涵,在於指出藥價差現象之所以成為一個嚴重問題,並不在於其降低藥廠利潤,增加健保藥品支出,或是造成醫療浪費,而是在於其所導致的價格扭曲與效率損失;解決藥價差問題的根本對策,在於建立完全的醫藥分業制度,而在短期醫藥分業制度無法真正落實之前,應從消除醫療市場的價格扭曲著手。
