ARLINGTON, Va. — Citing the need for a one-year transition period for states to implement the July average manufacturer price-based federal upper limits, or FULs, nine Senators are urging Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to consider the challenges that states will face when the final Medicaid AMP-based FULs are published. The National Association of Chain Drug Stores has expressed its support for sending the letter.
In July, CMS will publish the final Medicaid AMP-based FULs. The agency has indicated that it expects the new FULs to be effective immediately.
