RELATING TO BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONS – PHARMACEUTICAL COST TRANSPARENCY. This act would direct the state board of pharmacy, in collaboration with the department of health, to annually identify up to fifteen (15) prescription drugs on which the state spends significant health care dollars due to increases in costs. This list would be provided to the attorney general’s office, and the attorney general‘s office would require the drug’s manufacturers to submit relevant information and documentation to justify these cost increases. The act would also direct the department of health to use the same dispensing fee in its reimbursement formula for 340B prescription drugs as it uses to pay for non-340B prescription drugs under the Medicaid, program, and to provide information to the general assembly and the governor about these programs. The act would also establish an advisory commission on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs who would study these costs and make reports and recommendations to the governor and the general assembly.
