Medicaid Program: Covered Outpatient Drugs

View Comment

There is a great deal of detail in the Proposed Rule as to what characteristics make up a Covered Outpatient Drug and explains that if the drug does not fall into one of these slots a manufacturer can submit detail to show it should be a COD. What type of data is CMS requiring, where should that data be submitted, and who will make that determination? Will CMS be making a business decision on these submissions or will there be pharmaceutical professionals deciding the products to which patients should have access?
