-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority on Monday revised the price of drug eluting stents (DES) downwards by about Rs 2,300 to just under Rs 28,000, while marginally raising the cap on bare metal stents from Rs 7,400 to Rs 7,660. These caps are excluding GST. With DES accounting for about 95% of all stents used in India, this means most stents will become cheaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The authority, which had received several complaints about overcharging on catheters, balloons and guide wires used for angioplasty, also made public its analysis of trade margins on these consumables which ranged from over 150% to 400% over import price. In light of this, NPPA has asked for the price of catheters, balloons and guide wires to be mentioned separately in hospital bills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With 5% GST, the new price cap on DES will be Rs 29,285 and on bare metal stents Rs 8,043. The trade margin allowed on stents remains the same at 8%. The revised price caps will be effective from from Tuesday and remain in effect till March 31, 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Feb 14 last year, NPPA had capped the price of bare metal stents at Rs 7,400 and of DES at Rs 30,180, bringing down prices by as much as 85% in an effort to make angioplasty affordable. There were howls of protest from hospitals which made huge amounts of money on stents alone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest order sticks to categorising stents as bare metal and DES, which will come as a huge disappointment to the stent industry, which has been demanding a separate sub-category under DES for &amp;lsquo;innovative&amp;rsquo; stents. The request for a separate category had been sent to the health ministry where a committee of senior cardiologists had shot it down. &lt;br /&gt;

These caps are excluding GST. With DES accounting for about 95% of all stents used in India, this means most stents will become cheaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The authority, which had received several complaints about overcharging on catheters, balloons and guide wires used for angioplasty, also made public its analysis of trade margins on these consumables which ranged from over 150% to 400% over import price. In light of this, NPPA has asked for the price of catheters, balloons and guide wires to be mentioned separately in hospital bills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With 5% GST, the new price cap on DES will be Rs 29,285 and on bare metal stents Rs 8,043. The trade margin allowed on stents remains the same at 8%. The revised price caps will be effective from from Tuesday and remain in effect till March 31, 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Feb 14 last year, NPPA had capped the price of bare metal stents at Rs 7,400 and of DES at Rs 30,180, bringing down prices by as much as 85% in an effort to make angioplasty affordable. There were howls of protest from hospitals which made huge amounts of money on stents alone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest order sticks to categorising stents as bare metal and DES, which will come as a huge disappointment to the stent industry, which has been demanding a separate sub-category under DES for &amp;lsquo;innovative&amp;rsquo; stents. The request for a separate category had been sent to the health ministry where a committee of senior cardiologists had shot it down. &lt;br /&gt;

Cardiac stent price cap lowered further to Rs 28,000 -Rema Nagarajan

-The Times of India The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority on Monday revised the price of drug eluting stents (DES) downwards by about Rs 2,300 to just under Rs 28,000, while marginally raising the cap on bare metal stents from Rs 7,400 to Rs 7,660. These caps are excluding GST. With DES accounting for about 95% of all stents used in India, this means most stents will become cheaper. The authority, which had received several complaints about overcharging on catheters, balloons and guide wires used for angioplasty, also made public its analysis of trade margins on these consumables which ranged from over 150% to 400% over import price. In light of this, NPPA has asked for the price of catheters, balloons and guide wires to be mentioned separately in hospital bills. With 5% GST, the new price cap on DES will be Rs 29,285 and on bare metal stents Rs 8,043. The trade margin allowed on stents remains the same at 8%. The revised price caps will be effective from from Tuesday and remain in effect till March 31, 2019. On Feb 14 last year, NPPA had capped the price of bare metal stents at Rs 7,400 and of DES at Rs 30,180, bringing down prices by as much as 85% in an effort to make angioplasty affordable. There were howls of protest from hospitals which made huge amounts of money on stents alone. The latest order sticks to categorising stents as bare metal and DES, which will come as a huge disappointment to the stent industry, which has been demanding a separate sub-category under DES for ‘innovative’ stents. The request for a separate category had been sent to the health ministry where a committee of senior cardiologists had shot it down. Please click here to read more.
