You will see very few additions but several removals that made their way onto CMS’s Average Sales Price (ASP) list for the third quarter. In comparison to the second quarter, drug prices remained stable and prices for the top Part B drugs increased by 0.8% on average. Prices changed 2% less for 25 out of the top 50 higher-volume drugs with 14 of the top 50 drugs seeing decreases, CMS says in an online statement accompanying the report.
