Medicare Rules Cut Drug Costs Under Weighing Plan
HEW Secretary Caspar Weinberger approves Maximum Allowable Costs to curb Medicare and Medicaid drug spending by paying the lowest price for generics. The move aims to save federal and state governments about 60 to 75 million dollars annually and broadens benefit to private patients as doctors weigh cheaper brands. About a quarter of top prescribed drugs have multiple suppliers, but identical efficacy is proven for far fewer. The program could cover about a dozen best sellers in its first year. Physicians will only note that a more expensive drug is necessary, not certify it.
