The impact of National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) on healthcare expenditures for breast cancer outpatients: an interrupted time series analysis in Wuhan, China
Our study suggested that the NVBP policy effectively prevented the continued growth in drug expenditure for breast cancer outpatients, but did not substantially improve total expenditure. In addition, the policy has not only affected the expenditures of medicines, but has also changed the structure of expenditures.
