Medicaid MCO Savings on Prescription Drug Costs – Therapeutic Class Level Comparisons
The September edition presents Medicaid data from our Pharmacy Practice, quantifying the differences in cost per prescription between the MCO and FFS settings in two selected high-volume therapeutic classes. In both drug classes (as occurs with Medicaid prescriptions overall), the MCO setting is achieving large percentage savings relative to FFS. However, the path taken to achieve these savings is quite different between the two drug classes shown.
