Important Notes

  1. LD 686, An Act to Increase Prescription Drug Price Transparency passed in the last session as Public Law 2021, Chapter 305, and became effective October 18, 2021. Several provisions in Rule Chapter 570 were inconsistent with the new law. When this occurs, the statute overrides inconsistencies in the rule. The rule now includes three notes that address the inconsistencies in the new law and the earlier version of the proposed rule.
    1. As of reporting year 2022, the MHDO will be posting a list of these NDCs and the manufacturers will no longer have to make such notifications to the MHDO. PL 2021, c. 305, Sections 4 & 5 [Chapter 570 Section 2(B)(3), page 4]
    2. As of reporting year 2022, the MHDO will be posting a list of these NDCs and the manufacturers will no longer have to make such notifications to the MHDO. PL 2021, c. 305, Sections 4 & 5 [Chapter 570 Section 2(C)(1)(a), page 4]
    3. As of October 18, 2021, The MHDO may share information in the aggregate, even if it allows the identification of an individual drug, as long as it is not released in a manner that allows the determination of individual prescription drug pricing contract terms covering a manufacturer, wholesale drug distributor or pharmacy benefits manager. PL 2021, c. 305, Sections 7 & 9. (Chapter 570 Section (6)(B), page 11]
  2. Enforcement issue: The level of reporting for the Pharmacy Benefit Managers in Chapter 570 was agreed to in the HCIFS committee work session, but was inadvertently not included in the final version of the rule.
    Resolution: The Board of Directors of the MHDO hereby partially suspends enforcement of 90-590 CMR Chapter 570, Section 2(J)(3) so that the MHDO shall enforce collection of the pricing component data from Pharmacy Benefits Mangers only for the data relevant to Maine, rather than the United States, including for each NDC the Pricing Units Administered, the Total Pharmacy Reimbursement, the Total Payment Received, the Total Rebate Receivable, the Total Rebate Payable Amount and any additional information, if applicable.
