In November 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a Medicaid Drug Rebate Notice on Assuring Medicaid Beneficiaries Access to Hepatitis C Drugs.

In response to the harsh restrictions being placed on the new direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs by state Medicaid programs, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a program notice in Nov 2015 to remind states of Medicaid’s drug coverage rules.

This webinar provides tools and information to help providers become engaged in these discussions. The presenters have granted permission for their slides to be downloaded and used in presentations to educate other providers on these issues.
