AMCP Letter on Adult CE and Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act
On Aug. 13, AMCP joined dozens of national and state advocacy organizations in a sign-on letter calling on House and Senate leadership to strengthen patients’ access to high-quality health coverage and care. Specifically, the letter urges Congress to support 12-month continuous eligibility for adults in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) by passing the Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act (H>R. 5434/S. 3138).

The Protecting Pharmacies in Medicaid Act would prohibit the use of spread pricing arrangements in Medicaid programs. Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) would be required to pass through to pharmacies the full amount of the money paid to the PBMs by Medicaid programs, except for a fixed administrative fee. The total reimbursement amount will be determined by a survey of national average drug acquisition costs administered by the Department of Health & Human Services.
In AMCP's latest comments to the FDA, we emphasize the need for standardized public reporting of confirmatory trial progress, ensuring payers and health care providers have the necessary data to make informed coverage decisions. By supporting proactive communication and rigorous confirmatory trials, AMCP aims to balance early access to innovative treatments with patient safety and long-term therapeutic value.
