Summary: The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) supports the proposed rule to modernize prior authorization through interoperability and standardized reporting, viewing it as a step toward improved efficiency and patient safety. However, they urge CMS to provide a longer 24-month implementation timeline, allow for stratified reporting metrics, and offer clearer guidance on state-specific Medicaid requirements to ensure operational feasibility.
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) thanks the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the opportunity to provide comments in response to the Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs Proposed Rule. Please see attached for AMCP's full comments.
