States Face Deadline to Join Medicaid International Drug Pricing Pilot
In its D.C. Diagnosis newsletter, STAT reports that Wednesday is the deadline for states to opt into GENEROUS, a pilot program letting Medicaid access drugs at prices available abroad. Separately, the Senate health committee will vote Wednesday on three HHS nominees, but not on Heidi Overton, the nominee to lead the FDA, whose confirmation now won't be decided until after the Senate returns Nov. 9. CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz is also traveling to Texas to promote CHOICE arrangements, which let employers give workers tax-free funds to buy ACA Marketplace coverage.
State Medicaid agencies must decide by this week's deadline whether to participate in a pilot that could reset drug pricing benchmarks tied to international prices.
