METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Health and Human Services assumes implementation of the packaging and tracking requirements in New Hampshire could cause some manufacturers to cease distributing class II drugs in New Hampshire or increase their prices to cover the additional packaging, tracking and distribution costs. The increase in costs to the Medicaid program for class II controlled drugs cannot be determined. Medicaid expenditures are paid with a combination of state and federal funds, therefore any increase in Medicaid expenditures will also increase federal restricted revenue by 50% of the expenditure increase.
The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification states this bill would have no fiscal impact on the Office or on the Board of Pharmacy.
