Medical Price Query

Problem

Drug and medical device pricing lookups often mix retail prices, centralized procurement prices, and payer prices across inconsistent specifications. A raw number can mislead users who do not know the source, unit, or timing. This skill treats price lookup as a traceable retrieval and reporting workflow for engineering, operations, and consulting use cases.

How It Works

• Multi-source search: prioritize official sources such as the National Healthcare Security Administration, provincial procurement platforms, and third-party references; for devices, use NMPA and medical consumable procurement platforms; for overseas markets, use FDA Orange Book, openFDA, and CMS Drug Pricing.
• Key steps: extract generic/commercial names, formulation, specification, and region; query official and third-party sources; then cross-validate and annotate publish time, price type, and unit.
• Output: generate a Markdown consulting report with executive summary, analysis, data-quality assessment, conclusions, and appendix, rather than presenting unverified numbers as current price.

Boundaries

It does not execute purchases, contracts, or hospital procurement workflows. If official sources are unavailable, specifications are unclear, or source prices diverge, it should state that no reliable source was found or list the differences for user judgment.
