The OIG has issued an ACA-mandated report on Medicare Part D prescription drug plan and MA drug plan coverage of drugs commonly used by full-benefit dual-eligible individuals (that is, individuals eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and who receive full Medicaid benefits and Medicare premium and cost-sharing assistance). The OIG determined that for 2013, Part D/MA plan formularies include 96% of 195 commonly-used drugs, with 64% of the commonly-used drugs included in all such formularies. Plans applied utilization management tools to 28% of the unique drugs reviewed in 2013, compared to 24% in 2012 (mainly attributable to an increase in the use of quantity limits).
