Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicaid spent $15 billion on outpatient prescription drugs (PD) in FY 2007. Instead of directly purchasing PD, state Medicaid programs reimburse pharmacies for dispensing them to Medicaid beneficiaries. For certain PD, state Medicaid programs may only receive fed. matching funds for reimburse. up to a max. amount known as a fed. upper limit (FUL). The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 changed the methodology for calculating FULs. This report found that if AMP-based FULs had been in place in the 2nd qtr. of 2008, they would have been lower than avg. retail pharmacy costs for most of the drugs in the sample and in the nat. aggregate. However, 64 drugs had at least one therapeutically equivalent version with acquisition costs below the FUL. Illus.

This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.

This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of individuals receive prescription drugs through fed. programs. The increasing cost of prescription drugs has put pressure to control drug spending on fed. programs such as the Fed. Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), Medicare Part D, the VA, the DoD, and Medicaid. Prescription drug spending within the FEHBP in particular, which provides health and drug coverage to about 8 million fed. employees, retirees, and their dependents, has been a significant contributor to FEHBP cost and premium growth. This report describes approaches used by the FEHBP to control prescription drug spending and summarizes approaches used by other fed. programs. Illustrations.
