Month: January 2016

This edition provides data on Medicaid prescription drug usage and costs and trends from 2013 to 2015. Each data table shows national totals and subtotals for three groups of states: non-expansion states, initial Medicaid expansion states (those implementing Medicaid expansion in January 2014), and subsequent expansion states. The tables show all Medicaid-paid pharmacy volume, including prescriptions paid by Medicaid MCOs and those paid in the Medicaid fee-for-service setting. Tables differentiate pre-rebate and post-rebate spending.
