PMSI Settlement Solutions Appeals to CMS on MSA Drug Review Standards

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced a new methodology for pricing prescription drugs in Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs). The unintended consequence of the new pricing methodology will be grossly overinflated future drug cost allocations which in turn will adversely impact payors’ ability to settle claims.

Leveraging unique cross-industry expertise in MSA allocations and Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM), PMSI Settlement Solutions is appealing directly to CMS for improvements to the new drug review methodology based on current standards of practice. Utilizing scientific and evidence-based rationale PMSI has created an alternative drug review methodology which will provide for fair and equitable allocations. PMSI will work with government affairs experts, industry consultants and other interested payors on the appeal.
