Book excerpt: On October 25,1999, the President directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to study prescription drug costs and trends for Medicare beneficiaries. He asked that the study investigate: price differences for the most commonly used drugs for people with and without coverage; drug spending by people of various ages, as a percentage of income and of total health spending; and trends in drug expenditures by people of different ages, as a percentage of income and of total health spending. This report is the Department's response to that request. It represents the work of individuals and agencies throughout the Department, including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).

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.

Download or read book Competition and the Cost of Medicare's Prescription Drug Program written by Anna Cook and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Modernization Act, or MMA) substantially expanded the federal Medicare program by creating the prescription drug benefit known as Part D. In FY 2013, Medicare Part D covered 39 million people. The federal government spent $59 billion net of premiums on Part D in that year; after accounting for certain payments from states under the program, the net federal cost was $50 billion, which represented 10% of net federal spending for Medicare. A combination of broader trends in the prescription drug market and lower-than-expected enrollment in Part D has contributed to much lower spending for the program than projected when the MMA became law in 2003. This report examines the federal budgetary cost and competitive design of Medicare Part D and compares Medicare Part D and Medicaid Fee for Service. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Book Synopsis Prescription Drugs Under Medicare by : Mickey C. Smith
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.

Book Synopsis Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage by : Jennifer R. Luong
Download or read book Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage written by Jennifer R. Luong and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outpatient prescription drug benefit known as Medicare Part D was first available in Jan. 2006, and that year it provided federally subsidized prescription drug coverage for nearly 28 million beneficiaries at a cost of $47.4 billion -- almost 12% of total Medicare spending. Part D sponsors -- entities that enter into contracts with Medicare -- administer the benefit and compete for beneficiary enrollment. To provide coverage, the sponsors enter into contractual relationships with pharmacy benefit managers, drug manufacturers, and retail pharmacies. The Part D program relies on sponsors to generate prescription drug savings, in part through their ability to negotiate price concessions, such as rebates and discounts, with these entities.
