“We are currently reviewing the proposed rule. However, previous point-of-sale proposals in Medicare have not advanced because they would significantly increase Medicare spending.

“Pharmacy DIR represents value-based contracting in Medicare Part D and is designed to improve pharmacy quality and safety for beneficiaries. We look forward to working with CMS on ways to enhance the use of value-based contracting rather than limiting this important tool.”
