The dynamic political landscape surrounding drug pricing is sure to present changes and challenges for drug manufacturers in 2021, especially in the area of drug discounts. One impactful change is the removal of the Medicaid Unit Rebate Amount cap, which aims to create a painful financial disincentive for manufacturers who have increased a drug’s price faster than the rate of inflation. The Congressional Budget Office has scored this provision as a way to reduce direct spending in Medicaid by $15.9B in the next decade.

However, removing this cap has other implications, especially for drug manufacturers. Learn how this change may impact your 340B strategy and how you operationalize the processing of Medicaid rebate claims. Evolving from paying discounts on time to paying the right amount has never been more important. Explore how to navigate this developing situation to effectively manage your drug discount programs.
