Hello Everyone,

 

I have another quick update on the Plan Finder.  CMS has reported that they implemented some additional updates this week, including:

 

-  "Total Drug Cost + Premium Cost" amount is now displaying on all Plan Results, Plan Details, and Plan Comparison pages

-  Eliminated sample pack pricing - this addresses pricing issues reported for drugs like Daptomycin, Aubagio, Uceris

-  Added a link to edit drugs/pharmacies to Plan Results page

 

Please share with your teams.

 

We will continue to share updates as we receive them. 

 

Thank you,

 

Rebecca M Kinney
