State Medicaid pricing initiative status

Trump administration officials recently claimed that every U.S. state agreed to join a federal drug pricing program. Officials stated the initiative aims to lower prices for state Medicaid programs through the GENEROUS model. However, several state officials say they remain undecided about participation despite technically applying to the program.

Pricing details remain unavailable

The specific pricing details states would receive under the federal initiative are not publicly available at this time. Some states are still trying to determine if the new model offers a better deal than existing rebates from drugmakers.
