title: Medicare and Medicaid programs; limits on payments for drugs--HCFA. Final rule.
abstract: This rule eliminates current Departmental procedures for setting limits on payments for drugs supplied under certain Federal health programs; and revises Medicaid rules concerning the methodology for determining upper limits for drug reimbursement. This rule enables the Federal and State governments to take advantage of savings that are currently available in the marketplace for multiple source drugs. It also maintains State flexibility in the administration of the Medicaid program.
