Memorandum Of Understanding Case Study

Improved Essays
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would greatly impact interstate filling of compounded prescriptions by regulating 503(a) compounding pharmacies. As the majority of compounding pharmacies in the U.S. are 503(a) compounding facilities, the impact would be one felt throughout the nation by patient and practitioner alike. This would restrict majority of compounding pharmacies to no more than 5% of interstate sales per month. However, the if the state decides to take on any adverse events or quality issues, then their pharmacies may increase interstate sales to no more than 30%.

These numbers correlate to patient safety, that being 5% interstate sale is considered safe, 30% is only safe if the state agrees to the MOU of the FDA, and any

    It will be important for covered entities to adhere to the current regulatory requirements; monitor HRSA, OPA, and Apexus announcements, and continue to exhibit adequate program oversight. HRSA announced a partnership with the Bizzell Group in November, who is expected to complete 200-300 340B program audits in 2017. As some elected representatives have vocalized that they believe the 340B program has grown beyond its original intent, we will continue to closely monitor 340B program developments. This opinion on 340B may conflict with that of the new administration, who has praised mechanisms that would result in lower drug prices. As a 340B Covered Entity and Third Party Administrator, our goal is to collaboratively protect the integrity of the program through preparation for potential program reform and, as always, we aim to be a continued resource to our clients and other 340B stakeholders.…

    Bill Jenison, president of Pharmacy Gold, said the pharmaceutical company-PBM mergers will allow his independent PBM to "leverage more enrollment because of our clinical objectivity and independence." With existing PBMs prepared to handle increased market share, and new PBMs forming, the arguments that the manufacturer-PBM mergers increase the barriers to entry into the industry, or foreclose unique products or services, are weakened. Additionally, no pharmaceutical company makes every drug on a formulary list, so the possibility of strict foreclosure is diminished because the PBMs must maintain supplier relationships with other manufacturers. A different issue arises from these continued supplier relationships concerning more subtle ways in which…

    The Pharmaceutical industry is a $300 billion dollar business which receives a lot of scrutiny in regards to their purpose, side effects, and lucrative schemes (Prescription Drug).The effects of the prescription drugs can be deadly if not used properly. Prescription drugs are responsible for more deaths annually than illegal drugs (Mercola). Ironically, the thing that is supposed to help individuals with their health concerns is actually killing them instead. This is the result of patients receiving prescriptions with the doctor’s expertise.

Prescription drugs only represent 12 percent of total health care costs in the United States, but the rising prices of those drugs is an issue that keeps reoccurring not only for patients, but for prescribers, payers, and policy makers. There are people that believe that the rise in price of these drugs is appropriate, but if they keep on rising in price, the United States will start suffering not only financially but medically. Despite a lot of other aspects of the economy rising in price, pharmaceutical drugs should be lowered, or should at least be kept at a reasonable rate. The rise in prices of prescription drugs is an issue that does not seem to be going away…
