Royal Decree 177/2014 on the Reference Price System

After long months of negotiation, this very important regulation on reference prices, the system of homogeneous groups, and certain information systems regarding pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products has been approved.

The State Council, when reporting on the draft, already pointed out that this is a complex issue, difficult to understand for those who do not have an in-depth knowledge of the system; and that therefore it would be convenient that the Preamble offered a simple and comprehensible explanation.

CEFI has dedicated its first online seminar to this subject. Jordi Faus has made a presentation trying to explain the most relevant aspects of this regulation, published a week ago in the Official Journal, in simple and easy-to-understand terms.
