CMS Rescinds Proposal to Limit Part D Drug Access

3/10/2014

 
Picture
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on March 10, 2014, that they would not finalize a proposal to eliminate protected class status for any drugs under Medicare Part D “at this time.” In a letter to members of Congress, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner said that the agency will abandon its proposal to exclude antidepressants and immunosuppressants for the 2015 coverage year (and antipsychotics in 2016) from their status as protected drug classes. In the letter, Administrator Tavenner notes that CMS may look to advance these proposed changes “in future years.” The Partnership for Part D Access applauded CMS on their decision to withdraw this dangerous proposal.
