($9,005,279)
Implements average acquisition cost as a basis for Medicaid payment that will result in lower product cost for drugs for the
Medicaid program. The Department will use a survey of pharmacies to determine the average cost of dispensing Medicaid
prescriptions and increase the weighted average dispensing fee to no more than $12.00 effective 1/1/16 to ensure pharmacies
cover the cost of filling Medicaid prescriptions based on the survey. The Department will maintain a higher dispensing fee for
generic and preferred drugs and for brand and non-preferred drugs. This represents a 1.4% reduction in provider payments and
leaves over $1.5 billion for payment of prescription drugs.

340B Pricing for Specialty
Prescription Drugs (1102,

($67,413)
($483,139)
Implements enhanced Medicaid payments to 340B specialty pharmacies to incentivize them to fill prescriptions using their lower
cost 340B inventory. The lower cost for the product/drug will be passed on to Medicaid through the claims payment. This is a
0.09% reduction in provider payments and leaves over $1.5 billion for payment of prescription drugs. The first year savings are
reduced by the programming cost in NCTRACKS to implement this change.
93
340B Pharmacy Network

Creates a network of 340B specialty pharmacies and requires those pharmacies to invoice product cost (any medication with a
cost of $1,500 per month) at 340B pricing rather than the retail pharmacy rate. This represents a 0.06% reduction in payments
to providers and leaves over $1.5 billion for payment of prescription drugs.
