In case the medicine or medical equipment has not won the bid at the medical examination and treatment facility where the patient has been examined and treated, the unit price used as the basis for determining the health insurance payment level is the result of the selection of a valid contractor in the following order of priority: Results of centralized procurement at the national level or price negotiation results; Results of centralized procurement at the local level in the area;

And the lowest contractor selection result at the time of payment of public medical examination and treatment facilities at specialized or basic levels or medical examination and treatment facilities at the same technical level in the area;
