MAGELLAN RX MEDICAID PHARMACY TREND REPORT / 2021


INTRODUCTION Magellan Rx Management is pleased to present the sixth edition of the Magellan Rx Management Medicaid Pharmacy Trend Report, the industry’s only detailed source that looks at both the gross and net drug spend trends across Medicaid. The year 2020 was unlike any other. Dealing with a worldwide pandemic disrupted lives and the way we think about healthcare. In response to the pandemic, states considered alternative pathways to continuity of care for patients such as telehealth, virtual pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee meetings, and other technology-based solutions.

The story of the Medicaid FFS top drug classes remained almost identical to that of previous years. The top two drug classes remained HIV/AIDS and antipsychotics, which together accounted for more than 19.8% of the total net drug spend; the top five classes accounted for almost 40% of total net spend (see figure 2).

Meanwhile, advances in healthcare moved forward. An unprecedented number of drug approvals and new drugs expanded the market. Specialty drugs such as Mavyret, a pangenotypic therapy for hepatitis C, and Trikafta, a combination therapy for cystic fibrosis, made their mark, representing the highest net dollar impact in their categories. These and other introductions led to a modest increase in specialty cost trend and a positive trend in traditional for the first time in this report’s history (see figure 1).

Adjustments for the pandemic aside, states continued to explore unique payment models,

In another milestone, 2020 specialty net cost crossed a threshold predicted since this publication’s first report: Specialty drugs accounted for more than half (51.4%) of the net drug spend in Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS), while still making up only 1.3% of all utilization — a trend we see across all lines of business but most significantly in Medicaid.

including subscription and outcomes-based contracting models to counterbalance the increasing cost of specialty drugs. These are imperative tools in the shift from volume-based cost savings toward value-based cost savings. All of these updates made for a dynamic year in Medicaid, which we examine in this report. Thank you for your continued interest in the Medicaid Pharmacy Trend Report. We are confident the information in this report will drive meaningful conversations and strategic opportunities to manage Medicaid pharmacy programs in the coming years.

MEDICAID PHARMACY ECONOMICS The Medicaid pharmacy pricing landscape has remained largely unchanged over the six years MRx has published this report. The basic tenet of the program is the same: Manufacturers agree to a base, or “federal”, rebate in exchange for mandatory pharmacy coverage for their products by states that provide the Medicaid pharmacy benefit. All states and the District of Columbia currently offer this benefit to Medicaid recipients. Hence, manufacturers gain “payable” status everywhere through this agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Medicaid rules also permit additional, or “supplemental,” rebates to be contracted by individual states or a group of states to further reduce the net cost of pharmaceuticals. These rebate contracts are protected by Medicaid’s best price exemption, which means they do not impact the manufacturer’s Medicaid best price. The pharmacy benefit is included in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), so states share supplemental rebates as they do federal rebates with the federal government. The other rebate factor in the equation, the rebate offset amount, continues to go entirely to the federal government and constitutes a small portion, roughly 2.5%, of the federal rebate. In 2020, the average total discount was 59.2% (54.2% federal and 5% supplemental).

Key Points in Medicaid Economics » L owest net cost is calculated net of federal, supplemental, and rebate offset amount. » D o not chase supplemental rebates at the expense of lowest net cost. » B rand drugs can be less expensive than their generic equivalents and can save states millions of dollars.

Patent Expiration/ Generic Introduction

The Economics To understand Medicaid economics at the drug level, assume pharmacy reimbursement, wholesale acquisition cost (WAC), and average manufacturer price (AMP) are all the same. In this instance, a new brand drug enters the market with a minimum mandatory rebate of 23.1% of AMP. This drug enters a competitive class with three clinically equivalent therapeutic alternatives, each with higher discounts and lower net costs than the new drug. With a pharmacy reimbursement cost of $100, the net cost to the state is $76.90 ($100 minus 23.1%, or $23.10). To be competitive, the manufacturer will offer an additional discount, known in Medicaid as a “supplemental rebate,” to lower the net cost from $76.90 to a competitive

price of $50. The value of the supplemental rebate at time zero is equal to $26.90, and the total discount is 50%, or $50. As time progresses, manufacturer pricing actions drive up the total discounts. Still, due to the inverse relationship between supplemental and federal rebates, supplemental discounts decline over time as the total federal discount increases (see figure 9). As the patent expiration approaches, the manufacturer generally increases the cost of the drug. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U) penalty accelerates the growth of the federal rebate in the quarters prior to that event.

Generic Impact At patent expiration, the launch of a generic is widely seen as a way to lower drug costs and save patients money. While this is true in many markets, in Medicaid, the launch of a generic requires careful thought and financial evaluation. When generics first enter the market, they typically launch at a discounted price point relative to the brand’s full price but have a federal rebate at 13% of AMP. The net cost of a brand drug can be significantly less than the generic at this time (see figure 10). Factors affecting the availability of this new generic can cause the net cost of

to classify brand and generic drugs by their CMS drug class indicator instead of by their formal label name. These indicators are single-source; innovator, multiple-source; or non-innovator, multiple-source. The impact to FFS is significant because authorized generics (AGs) that have a non-innovator, multiplesource (generic) label name pay an innovator, multiple-source (brand) federal rebate and are counted as brand drugs by CMS. Over the two-year period 2019-2020, states averaged an 86% effective generic dispensing rate (GDR) (see figure 11) when the drug did not have a proprietary drug name and where AGs count as generic even though they pay a brandlike CMS rebate. In 2020, states included in this report saved $378.6 million or $65.53 per claim using a brand over generic strategy.

Generic Utilization Rate

FIGURE 11: GENERIC UTILIZATION RATE 2019-2020

Medicaid FFS programs most often reported lower generic utilization rates than Medicaid managed care organizations (MCO) or other commercial programs because of the federal rebate’s impact on the net cost of brand drugs compared to their generic equivalents.

MEDICAID FEE-FOR-SERVICE TRENDS Federal Rebate Update

Overall Drug Cost Trends

Following a several-year increasing trend, the aggregate federal rebate percentage inclusive of the rebate offset amount (ROA) decreased 0.4% in 2020, from 54.6% in 2019 to 54.2%. This decline, driven by new specialty drugs, was offset by a corresponding rise in supplemental rebates — good news for states. On closer inspection, the federal rebate on traditional drugs increased to 64.6%, up nearly two percentage points from 2019. The federal rebate on specialty drugs decreased 2.6%, from 48.4% to 45.8%. Considering that new-to-market drugs start with a federal rebate of 23.1% of AMP, higher utilization of newer products likely pulled down the average specialty federal rebate.

2020 saw an increased gross cost per claim and net cost per claim of 8.5%, or $10.21, and 8.9%, or $4.37, respectively. The first positive traditional trend in five years and a double-digit specialty trend contributed to these significant increases (see figures 14 and 15). FIGURE 14: GROSS COST PER CLAIM 2019-2020 2019

2020

The average federal rebate can subdivide into specialty and traditional drugs or brand and generic drugs (see figure 13). As previously noted, the growth in specialty net spend was the primary driver of lower average federal rebate in 2020.

CLASS AND DRUG TRENDS Therapeutic Class Net Dollar Impact

Drug Net Spend Impact

Cystic fibrosis, oral, and HIV/AIDS had the highest net dollar impact and highest net spend among classes, while stimulants and hemophilia had the largest decreased net dollar impact (see figure 16).

The top drugs by percent of net spend belong to the top five classes by net spend. The specialty benefit had the top three drugs by percent of total net spend. HIV/AIDS accounted for three of the top eight drugs, contributing 6.5% of total spend, equating to $335.6 million. Although hepatitis C is still contributing to specialty’s decrease in total net spend, Mavyret utilization contributed to the class’s 1.3% of specialty’s total net spend (see figure 18).

Three of the five classes whose net dollar impact decreased — stimulants and related agents, hemophilia, and hepatitis C — also saw decrease in net spend and claim volume. In traditional, impact to net dollar changes was lower than in previous years, contributing to the first positive traditional trend in five years (see figure 17).

FIGURE 16: 2020 TOP 5 CLASSES WITH INCREASING TOTAL NET SPEND BY DOLLAR IMPACT Traditional

On the traditional benefit, antipsychotic agents accounted for five of the top eight drugs, contributing 5.3% of total net spend, or $273.6 million (see figure 19).

METHODOLOGY The Magellan Rx Medicaid Pharmacy Trend Report focuses exclusively on Medicaid FFS drug spend and does not include managed care utilization. It provides a comprehensive year-over-year analysis of Medicaid FFS pharmacy claims data on a cost per claim basis.

» T he report trends are based on gross cost and net cost per claim basis and compare the 2019 calendar year data to the 2020 calendar year data. » T he data set used in this evaluation contains more than 97 million claims, with a gross cost of $12.7 billion and a net cost of $5.2 billion. » T wo years of complete FFS data was obtained from 25 Medicaid FFS clients across the country. Claims data used in this report is publicly available on the CMS website: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/prescription-drugs/state-drug-utilization-data/ index.html.

» L ike commercial plans, traditional and specialty drug trends are not immune to manufacturer price actions at the gross cost level. However, the increase at the net cost level is somewhat mitigated by supplemental rebates (where applicable) and the CPI-U penalty component of the federal rebate. » T his report incorporates the CMS federal rebate data for both 2019 and 2020 to achieve the highest accuracy for the Medicaid FFS space. Federal rebate data at the drug level is confidential and protected by federal law under the Social Security Act at 42 U.S.C. 1396r-8 (b)(3)(d). Therefore, this report does not disclose net cost pricing information on a per-drug basis.
