Supplementary notes

* The National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) provides the reimbursement framework for the 'urban employee basic medical insurance (BMI) scheme' and 'urban resident BMI scheme'.
** A List: Generic, low-cost products, fully reimbursable; decided by central government.
*** B list: Name brand products, generally higher in price. Compound drugs not listed in the NRDL, but made up by NRDL-listed drugs are reimbursable as List B drugs as long as the compound's price is not higher than the sum of its ingredient drugs.
