Today, NACDS and NCPA filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to block the implementation of AMP (average manufacturer price) under the AMP final rule, which was issued by CMS last July. The lawsuit challenges the reimbursement reductions to pharmacies under the Medicaid program, and asks the court for declaratory and injunctive relief from compliance with the AMP final rule. A copy of the lawsuit that was filed today is available at the website below for your review. You may also access the NACDS web link below for additional information about this matter. http://www.nacds.org/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5557 |

There is a lot of information on the website referenced below. If you provide DME items this will be important to you. Although most of you may not be involved in the bidding, you will be involved as General Suppliers and will have to meet certain criteria to continue to provide DME items. |

Why Wal-Mart’s Tactics Matter Some community pharmacists profess to be unconcerned by Wal-Mart’s $4 generics bait-and-switch deception. Maybe there isn’t a Wal-Mart near by, or they can match Wal-Mart’s prices on such a limited number of drugs, or they just don’t expect to lose enough business to worry about. But that’s missing the point. Wal-Mart’s ploy is furthering the commoditization and diminution of the value of complex chemicals and pharmacist services that enhance the lives of millions of patients every day. |
