Speaker

Michael Kvassay is a Social Science Analyst and Team Leader in the Baltimore Regional Office of Evaluation and Inspections, a component within the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Michael joined OEI in 2015, and recently published a report examining the cost of Stelara—for enrollees with original fee-for-service Medicare Part B and standalone Part D drug plans—when the drug was physician-administered under Part B versus self-administered at home under Part D. Other studies he has worked on include reports evaluating the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ oversight of reasonable assumptions in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, utilization of lower-cost hepatitis C drugs in Medicare Part D, how high-expenditure orphan drugs are being used in Medicare, as well as Federal oversight of child welfare programs.
