Effective Date: April 1, 2013.

     Description: The health care authority previously published its intention to submit Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 13-11 "to remove an out-of-date Supplemental Rebate Agreement (SRA) for drugs approved in SPA 02-001, as well as out-of-date references to SRAs associated with SPAs 03-024 and 08-001, which were removed from the medicaid state plan with CMS approval on December 16, 2011." The agency wishes to amend the above information as follows: SPA 13-11 will remove outdated SRAs associated with SPAs 02-001 and 03-024 and the accompanying cross-references, and keep the reference associated with SPA 08-001. The CMS approval received on December 16, 2011, did not officially remove the SRAs associated with SPAs 03-024 and 08-001 from the medicaid state plan. SPA 13-11 will officially remove those SRAs. Removing the SRAs and the cross-references will have no impact on federal, state, provider, or manufacturer expenditures because the SRAs are not in use.
