Medicare Drug Spending Dashboard
Just over a month ago, HHS convened a forum that brought together consumers, providers, employers, manufacturers, health insurance companies, representatives from state and federal government, and other stakeholders to discuss ideas on how our country can meet the dual imperatives of encouraging drug development and innovation, while ensuring access and affordability. The conversation touched on many ideas to increase access to information, promote value, drive innovation, strengthen incentives and promote competition.
Today, CMS is releasing a new online dashboard to provide information on Medicare spending on prescription drugs, for both Part B (drugs administered in doctors’ offices and other outpatient settings) and Part D (drugs patients administer themselves) to provide additional information and increase transparency. Having this information available to the public in an accessible format should inform health care decisions, policy considerations and encourage collective problem solving around these important issues.
