The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is opposed to the prior authorization language under Article 25 – Health Care in Senate File No. 2356, the Senate Omnibus Supplemental Appropriations Bill because it restricts a health benefit plan’s ability to manage its formulary, and it establishes unreasonable standards for the use of prior authorization by health benefit plans. Instead, it replaces these managed care tools with a government mandated design.

The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is writing to express its opposition to certain provisions of H.B. No. 254.

In addition, AMCP also opposes the new definition of “interchangeable biological product” included in the bill, which is not consistent with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition.
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is writing to express our concerns with Section 11 of S. 2700, the “FDA and NIH Workforce Authorities Modernization Act,” which was considered by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and placed on the Senate calendar on April 18th. This section of the bill states that “provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that refer to an official compendium as defined under section 201(j) of such Act shall not apply to a biological product subject to regulation under this section.”
