Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the proposed Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) drug utilization review system, focusing on: (1) drug safety; (2) the proposed system's development and implementation; and (3) pharmacy participation. GAO found that: (1) research on prescription practices for the elderly indicated that inappropriate drug prescription could cause adverse drug reactions which could lead to drug-induced illnesses, hospitalization and possible death and add to health care expenditures; (2) recent legislation required an electronic system that pharmacies would use to verify Medicare eligibility, keep Medicare drug purchase records, process and pay bills, and review drug utilization; (3) the proposed system would not include individual medication profiles or information on drug allergies or over-the-counter drugs, which could help pharmacists make appropriate prescription judgments; (4) the proposed system would have limited ability to detect drug interactions, excessive dosages, and duplicative drug therapies, and would be focused more on the general public than the elderly; (5) HCFA procedures for reviewing drug utilization did not focus on quality-of-care issues or on merging patient diagnosis information from Medicare claims with prescription information; (6) HCFA may not have sufficiently planned for testing whether information from the three independently developed regional systems would be efficient; and (7) HCFA may not have sufficient pharmacy participation.

Download or read book Prescription Drugs Under Medicare written by Mickey C. Smith and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-03-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will the failures and findings of the past affect this fiercely debated current issue? In the near future, Congress may call for federal provision of outpatient prescription drugs as a benefit of the Medicare program. Prescription Drugs Under Medicare: The Legacy of the Task Force on Prescription Drugs is the story of the very first serious federal effort to study the feasibility of funding a drug benefits program for the elderly. That effort failed, and this fascinating text reveals why and how the program came to grief. Prescription Drugs Under Medicare explains the politics and practicalities of several government efforts to fund prescriptions for the elderly. The 1969 task force report is reprinted here in its entirety, along with comments from two of its primary architects, Dr. T. Donald Rucker and Dr. Philip Lee. Also included are excerpts from the report's review by the Dunlop Committee. The drug prices have changed, but the basic dilemma is the same. Prescription Drugs Under Medicare examines the burning issues, including: the reasons for the explosive growth in prescription prices from the 1950s onward the ongoing conflicts between the pharmaceutical industry and the government regulators the short-lived Reagan reforms of Medicare benefits the impact of managed care on the pharmaceutical marketplace Including powerful behind-the-scenes accounts, Prescription Drugs Under Medicare provides hard-to-find information and lucid analyses of this hotly debated subject. Pharmaceutical executives, medical economists, and policymakers will be fascinated by the story of how the stage was set for the congressional debates occurring in 2001.
