| S.B. No. 1780 | ||
|
|
||
| relating to value-based arrangements in the Medicaid vendor drug | ||
| program. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 531, Government Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Section 531.0701 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 531.0701. VALUE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS. (a) In this | ||
| section, "manufacturer" has the meaning assigned by Section | ||
| 531.070. | ||
| (b) Subject to Section 531.071, the commission may enter | ||
| into a value-based arrangement for the Medicaid vendor drug program | ||
| by written agreement with a manufacturer based on outcome data or | ||
| other metrics to which this state and the manufacturer agree in | ||
| writing. The value-based arrangement may include a rebate, a | ||
| discount, a price reduction, a contribution, risk sharing, a | ||
| reimbursement, payment deferral or installment payments, a | ||
| guarantee, patient care, shared savings payments, withholds, a | ||
| bonus, or any other thing of value. | ||
| SECTION 2. If before implementing any provision of this Act | ||
| a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a | ||
| federal agency is necessary for implementation of that provision, | ||
| the agency affected by the provision shall request the waiver or | ||
| authorization and may delay implementing that provision until the | ||
| waiver or authorization is granted. | ||
| SECTION 3. The Health and Human Services Commission is | ||
| required to implement a provision of this Act only if the | ||
| legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. If | ||
| the legislature does not appropriate money specifically for that | ||
| purpose, the commission may, but is not required to, implement a | ||
| provision of this Act using other appropriations available for that | ||
| purpose. | ||
| SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
