Final 2013 Part D Data: Preferred Pharmacy Networks Still Win Big, But CMS is “Concerned”
From the Article:
“We have begun to scrutinize Part D drug costs in PDPs with preferred networks, and comparing these to costs in the non-preferred networks, as well as to costs in PDPs without preferred networks. We are concerned because our initial results suggest that aggregate unit costs weighted by utilization (for the top 25 brand and top 25 generic drugs) may be higher in preferred networks than in non-preferred networks in some plans. Combined with lower cost sharing, we believe these higher unit costs may violate the requirement not to increase payments to such plans.”
It seems every time the Feds try to save money… it ends up costing more …
I’m just saying …
