NAMD Highlights Concerns with Proposed Pharmacy Value-Based Purchasing Rule

On July 20, 2020, NAMD submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on a proposed rule seeking to promote value-based purchasing in pharmaceuticals.

The proposed rule would allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to report multiple “best prices” under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program unique to specific value-based purchasing arrangements. In the letter, NAMD expresses concern that this would undermine state pharmacy budgets and create strong incentives for pharmaceutical manufacturers to game the “best price.”
