Newsflash

Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) announced that there was a $800M decrease in Part B spending in 2005 as compared to 2004. They attribute this to a shift to an Average Sales Price payment system for physician-administered pharmaceuticals, coupled with declining prescription volumes. One concern raised in their report is that fewer patients have supplemental coverage, particularly in hospital cancer programs. MedPAC report, January 2007
