The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will submit changes to the Medicaid State Plan to implement the new Federal Upper Limits published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
SPA 16-0010-UT Federal Upper Limit, therefore, amends the pricing for medications that have a Federal Upper Limit established by CMS.
The reimbursement for drugs will be amended to reimburse the lesser of the Utah Estimated Acquisition Cost, Utah Maximum Allowable Cost, Federal Upper Limit, or the Submitted Cost.
DMHF does not expect an impact to total annual expenditures due to these changes.
These proposed changes, if approved, become effective on May 1, 2016.
These proposed changes are pending CMS approval.
A copy of the changes may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, PO Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the changes are also available at local county health department offices.
