      13. The term for consideration of an application for medicines and medical devices in the local health authority of regions, cities of republican significance and the capital does not exceed five working days from the date of receipt.

      14. Within one working day from the date of approval by the local public health authority of regions, cities of republican significance and the capital, the medical organization sends an application for medicines and medical devices to the branch of the Fund in the corresponding region, city of republican significance and the capital.

Chapter 3. Methodology for forming the need for medicines and medical devices within the guaranteed volume of free medical care and (or) in the system of compulsory social health insurance

      19. Calculation of the need for medicines and medical devices within the framework of the guaranteed volume of medical care and (or) in the compulsory medical insurance system is carried out in two ways:

      1) based on the established daily dose for medicines

      2) based on actual consumption data for the previous financial year for medical devices.

      20. The following formulas are used to calculate the predicted need for medicines for the provision of medical care in an outpatient setting:

      PMP=DDD x ACDA x NPC x NPP (1), where

      PMP - predicted need for a medicinal product (in purchase units) per year on an outpatient basis;

      DDD is the established daily dose;

      ACDA - average course duration of application (days);

      NPC- the number of predicted courses per year;

      NPP - the number of predicted patients per year.

      The following formula is used to calculate the predicted need for medical devices for the provision of medical care in an outpatient setting:

      FNMD=ACMD x ACDA x NPC x NPP (2), where

      FNMD - forecasted need for a medical device (in units of purchase) per year on an outpatient basis;

      ACMD - average actual consumption of medical devices per patient for the previous financial year;

      ACDA - average course duration of application (days);

      NPC - the number of predicted courses per year;

      NPP - the number of predicted patients per year;

      MP - marginal price in accordance with the approved regulatory legal act in terms of DDD for the least expensive dosage form and dosage.

      To calculate the need for the purchase of medicines and medical devices used in an outpatient setting, the following formula is used:

      NPO= PNOB - PDB (3), where

      NPO - the need for the purchase of a medicinal product (in units of purchase) per year on an outpatient basis;

      PNOB - predicted need for a drug per year on an outpatient basis;

      PDB - projected drug balance as of January 1 of the next year (as of April 1 of the next year for antiretrovirals).

      To calculate the financial security necessary to cover the need determined in accordance with formulas (1-3) of these Rules, the value of the need in procurement units is multiplied by the marginal price in accordance with the approved regulatory legal act.

      21. To calculate the predicted need for medicines for the provision of medical care in inpatient and hospital-replacing conditions, the following formulas are used:

      FNMPIRC= DDD x ACSHC x PCSHC x NPP / DUI(4), where

      FNMPIRC - forecasted need for a medicinal product (in purchase units) per year in inpatient and inpatient-replacing conditions;

      DD is the established daily dose;

      ACSHC - the average course duration of use (days) in stationary and hospital-replacing conditions;

      PCSHC - the number of predicted courses in stationary and hospital-replacing conditions per year;

      NPP - the number of predicted patients in inpatient and hospital-replacing conditions per year;

      DUI - dosage unit of measurement.

      The following formula is used to calculate the predicted need for medical devices for the provision of medical care in inpatient and inpatient-replacing conditions:

      FNMD=ACMD x ACSHC x NPC x NPP (5), where

      FNMD - forecasted need for a medical device (in units of purchase) per year in hospital and hospital-replacing conditions;

      ACMD - the average actual consumption of medical devices in inpatient and inpatient settings per patient for the previous financial year;

      ACSHC - the average course duration of use (days) in stationary and hospital-replacing conditions;

      NPC - the number of predicted courses in stationary and hospital-replacing conditions per year;

      NPP - the number of predicted patients in inpatient and hospital-replacing conditions per year.

      To calculate the need for the purchase of medicines and medical devices used in inpatient and hospital-replacing conditions, the following formula is used:

      NPMP = PNMPSHC - PBM (6), where

      NPMP - the need to purchase a medicinal product per year in inpatient and inpatient-replacing conditions;

      PNMPSHC - predicted need for a medicinal product per year in stationary and hospital-replacing conditions;

      PBM - the predicted balance of medicines on January 1 of the next year.

      To calculate the financial security necessary to cover the needs determined in accordance with formulas (4-6) of these Rules, the value of the need in procurement units is multiplied by the marginal price in accordance with the approved regulatory legal act .
