Bill overview
This bill, the Fair AMP Act, changes how the prices of drugs are calculated for Medicaid rebates. Specifically, it removes the requirement that drug manufacturers include the prices of authorized generic drugs when determining the average manufacturer price (AMP) of brand-name drugs. It also excludes drug manufacturers from being considered wholesalers in the context of rebate calculations. These changes aim to simplify the process and potentially reduce costs for Medicaid programs.
