Abstract:
On April 18, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” Section 5 of the E.O., “Appropriately Accounting for Acquisition Costs of Drugs in Medicare,” directs the Secretary of HHS to publish in the Federal Register a plan to conduct a survey under section 1833(t)(14)(D)(ii) of the Act so he can determine the hospital acquisition cost for covered outpatient drugs at hospital outpatient departments. This survey corresponds to this executive order. The acquisition cost data hospitals submit in response to this survey will be considered when formulating proposed payment rates for drug payment under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). The respondents of the survey will be the approximately 4,500 hospitals that are paid under the OPPS.
