Medicaid Drug Debate Program
- Medicaid Drug Debate Program
The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is a program in the United States that was created by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA'90).
It requires that drug manufacturers have a national rebate agreement with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in order for states to receive Federal Medicaid coverage of their products. In 2007, 550 pharmaceutics companies participated in the Medicaid Drug Debate Program and 49 states in addition to the District of Columbia supply drugs under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. In order for manufacturers to be eligible for Medicaid coverage a rebate agreement must be signed with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

This section states that agreements to the rebate program that have been entered on or after November 29, 1999 may go into effect that day, and states option, any date after up to the first day of the quarter.
