While the MMA required the General Accounting Office (GAO) to determine whether current payment for inhalation therapies is adequate, the report will not be completed until late this year. As a result, we believe that there will not be adequate time for Congress to consider the GAO findings and take necessary actions to modify this provision before ASP reimbursement begins. The American Association for Homecare strongly believes that this level of reimbursement will fall short of covering operating and administrative costs associated…Read More →: Respiratory Drug Access at Risk -
