Monitor Mondays
A New Drug Crisis Soon Facing American Hospitals
America’s hospitals will soon face an unprecedented rebate-based prescription drug model, come Jan. 1 – that’s when there will be as many as 10 major drugs subject to Medicare price caps. This development is expected to create administrative and financial challenges for hospitals, which will have to pay the commercial price for such drugs while waiting for the rebates.
For analysis and context, Maureen Testoni, president and CEO for 340B, will be the special guest during the next live edition of Monitor Monday. She will also review a recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report, featured in a recent Senate committee hearing, that includes some misrepresentations about why the 340B program has grown in recent years.
As a special bonus, the longtime Internet broadcast produced by RACmonitor, will feature senior healthcare consultant Drew Updike, MD, who will recognize the tireless work being performed by the employees of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) who continue to work despite the federal shutdown, now in its fifth week.
The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:
- Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.
- The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.
- Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
- Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, senior legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
