CMS Enters Pricey Hepatitis C Drug Debate
Bloomberg BNA 
Nov. 11, 2015
"The letters [sent by CMS to Medicaid directors of all 50 states and four drug manufacturers] were all related to the cost of those drugs, which can run upwards of $90,000 for the course of treatment.... CMS said it was interested in learning about what, if any, 'value-based' purchasing (VBP) arrangements are being offered to private plans and Medicaid plans. The agency said it thinks VBP arrangements may help get the best price for the drugs. CMS also warned against states limiting access to the drugs on the basis of cost."
