Prescription Drug Purchasing Consortium Performance Audit Proposed Final Report Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee October 22, 2008 John Bowden, JLARC Staff

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report2 Prescription Drug Purchasing Consortium Statute In 2005, the Legislature passed SSB 5471 which: Directed the Health Care Authority to create a Prescription Drug Purchasing Consortium State programs must participate – unless exempted because greater cost savings can be achieved through federal programs or other purchasing arrangements Private employer groups, local governments, labor unions, and uninsured or underinsured individuals can participate on a voluntary basis Mandated JLARC to conduct a performance audit of the Consortium by December 2008 MANDATEMANDATE Report Page 3

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Preliminary Report3 JLARCs Performance Audit Has Three Components Statutory Compliance: Has the Consortium been implemented? Is the Consortium being operated as required? Who is participating? Cost Savings: Are participants saving money? Health Outcomes: Are individuals healthier because of the Consortium? OVERVIEWOVERVIEW Report Page 3

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report4 Are Statutory Requirements Being Met? HCA contracted with a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) to implement the Consortium. HCA has met most of the operational requirements. Six of eight state-purchased health care programs are not participating in Consortium and have not demonstrated cause for exemption. Report Pages COMPLIANCECOMPLIANCE

October 22, 2008 Six of Eight State Programs Have Not Demonstrated Cause for Exemption State-Purchased Health Care Program Currently Participating ? Demonstrated Cause for Exemption? (expected date) HCA – Uniform Medical PlanYesN/A Department of Labor and IndustriesYesN/A DSHS/HRSA (Medical Assistance)NoNo (7/09) Department of CorrectionsNoNo (11/08) Department of Veterans AffairsNoNo (11/08) Department of Health – Immunization Program NoNo (11/08) Department of Health – HIV Client Services NoNo (11/08) Department of Health – STD ServicesNoNo (11/08) Drug Purchasing Consortium Preliminary Report5 PARTICIPATIONPARTICIPATION Report Pages 7 - 8

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report6 Are Participants Saving Money? Under the current PBM contract: UMP – estimates a $1.8 million cost avoidance in the first six months of L&I – has not had any significant changes in prescription drug rebates. Discount Card – HCA reports that members saved more than $4.3 million in prescription drug purchases from February 2007 to August COSTSAVINGSCOSTSAVINGS Report Pages

October 22, 2008 Are Individuals Healthier? For UMP and L&I – Improvements in health status, as a result of the Consortium, cannot be determined. However, improvements are unlikely because: Agencies short period of participation in Consortium Individuals access to prescription drugs has not changed Agencies method for purchase or reimbursement of prescription drugs has not changed An HCA survey of Discount Card members did not yield meaningful health outcome data. Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report7 HEALTHOUTCOMESHEALTHOUTCOMES Report Page 15

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report8 Recommendation and Responses RECOMMENDATIONSRECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 1 – DOC, DVA, DOH, and DSHS should complete the required cost analyses that demonstrate whether or not greater savings can be achieved. DOC: Partially Concurs DOC notes that they are supplying the data, but HCA is conducting the analysis. HCA, DSHS, DOH, DVA, L&I, and OFM: Concur Report Pages 17 &

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report9 Recommendation and Responses RECOMMENDATIONSRECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 2 – Based on the analyses conducted by the state agencies, HCA should make a determination whether each of the programs is required to participate in, or is exempt from participation in, the Consortium, and report the determinations to JLARC. DOC: Partially Concurs DOC wants to ensure the analysis takes into consideration the special circumstances and cost implications in a correctional setting. HCA, DSHS, DOH, DVA, L&I, and OFM: Concur Report Pages &

October 22, 2008Drug Purchasing Consortium Proposed Final Report10 Recommendation and Responses RECOMMENDATIONSRECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 3 – HCA should periodically conduct updated cost analyses to determine whether each of the state programs should continue to participate in, or continue to be exempt from participation in, the Consortium. DOC: Partially Concurs DOC is supportive of the recommendation if they are able to participate in the analysis. HCA, DSHS, DOH, DVA, L&I, and OFM: Concur Report Pages 18 &
