On January 25, 2018, the Partnership for Part D access submitted a letter to in response to a recent Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Request for Information (RFI) seeking information from stakeholders about the Medicare program. The letter urges HHS to retain the Medicare Part D protected classes policy, touting its overwhelming success in providing access to certain medications for the most vulnerable beneficiaries within Medicare. “The six classes of clinical concern, also known as protected classes, is a vital policy that ensures patients with high-risk complicated conditions receive access to the most appropriate medication,” the letter states. “As you evaluate the program, we urge you to retain this policy.” The letter also highlights the consistent support that the protected classes policy enjoys among policymakers and beneficiaries.
