When Congress established Average Sales Prices (ASPs) as the basis for reimbursement for Medicare Part B drugs, it also provided a mechanism for monitoring market prices and limiting potentially excessive payment amounts. The Social Security Act mandates that OIG compare ASPs with AMPs. If OIG finds that the ASP for a drug exceeds the AMP by 5 percent, the Social Security Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to substitute the ASP-based payment amount with a lower calculated rate. This presentation will review the history of OIG’s mandated pricing comparisons with a particular emphasis on the role of AMP data in this process.
