Casey administration pushes generics to aid senior drug costs
Harrisburg officials announced a major push to encourage seniors to use generic prescription drugs to save money and shore up the lottery fund. Budget Secretary Hershock warned the fund could go broke in three years without cutting PACE costs and shifting two welfare program costs to the general fund. Secretary of Aging Rhodes detailed steps to mandate generics in PACE, stock generics at drugstores, persuade doctors to switch brand scripts, and implement a drug utilization review program to flag risky drug combinations. The plan aims at a three year savings of about 99 million dollars, offsetting rising PACE costs and lottery pressures.
