 ASHP News: USP Releases Model Formulary for Medicare Part D
USP's role in the creation of the guidelines was specified in the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), which was signed into law in December 2003.
PhRMA's concern is that USP's classification scheme groups together "commonly prescribed types of medicines with outmoded forms of treatment." In other words, drug plan sponsors might be able to limit their formularies to older drugs in a given pharmacologic class, excluding newer treatment options.
USP subdivided that class into five groups—alpha glucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides, biguanides, sulfonylureas, and thiazolidinediones—apparently leaving drug plan sponsors the option of picking some of these drug groups and excluding others.
