Medicare Cuts Will Disproportionately Harm COPD Patients - Morning Consult


Read the full article: Medicare Cuts Will Disproportionately Harm COPD Patients - Morning Consult:

"CMS has chosen to deeply reduce Medicare payments for the home oxygen services required to keep COPD patients healthy and out of the hospital and other costly facilities.  On January 1, CMS began applying the competitive bid rates used in urban areas to rural and other non-competitive bid areas.  This policy is being phased-in over only a 6-month period, taking full effect on July 1 and resulting in a 30-50 percent cut to home respiratory therapy. Additionally, another set of cuts of approximately 18 percent was just applied on July 1."

The Race for Track & Trace: Are 3PLs ready for serialization?

Read the full article: The Race for Track & Trace: Are 3PLs ready for serialization?:

. . ."Phase II, which goes into effect beginning in November 2017, requires item-level serialization and poses a real challenge for 3PLs.

Brian Daleiden, vice president of industry marketing at TraceLink, a cloud-based track-and-trace network, warned that many 3PLs are only starting to realize the potential issues and complications they face. “If you’re a pharmaceutical company supplying products covered under DSCSA, working with 3PLs, and you are not today having any active conversations about what your plans and expectations are, you are creating serious risk for your ability to supply products and meet the serialization deadlines,” he said. “Not to say compliance cannot be reached, but you should be having the conversation today.”"
