CMS’ Proposal to Restrict Protected Classes in Medicare Part D

1/10/2014

 
Picture
As part of a broader proposed rule regarding Contract Year 2015 changes to Medicare Advantage and Part D programs, CMS is proposing limiting and redefining the Part D program’s protected drug classes to exclude antidepressants and immunosuppressants for the 2015 coverage year, and anti-psychotics in 2016. CMS argued that many of the drugs within these classes are interchangeable and will not cause hospitalization if patients do not immediately take them upon receiving a prescription. CMS determined that antipsychotics also fail to meet the new criteria, however, they will not immediately be excluded from protected status. Click below to view the proposed rule (fact sheet here).
