Saudi Arabia is moving toward introducing a new mechanism to regulate prices for private healthcare services, with the aim of reducing disparities and unjustified practices, promoting fairness and transparency in billing, and protecting patients from costs that do not match their needs. Badr Al-Otaibi, chief medical executive at National Medical Care Company, said the mechanism is intended to establish clearer standards for competition among healthcare providers, while strengthening insurers’ review of claims and verification of whether the services provided are necessary. He stressed that performance indicators and financial incentives should not conflict with medical judgment, adding that prioritizing short-term profits at the expense of quality and patient safety threatens the sustainability of healthcare providers.
