Not touching six protected classes in Part D “is settled policy” CMS’ Blum says. Congress did not go there so neither will CMS. #BPC

CMS required Part D plans to cover all or substantially all medications within these six classes, which help protect patients needing antidepressants, antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, antiretrovirals, and antineoplastics.

These medications help patients with, but are not limited to, epilepsy, organ transplants, cancer, HIV/AIDS, and mental health conditions.

When @CMSGov implemented Medicare Part D fifteen years ago, it identified six classes and categories of medicines where patients could face serious risks, complications, and negative health outcomes without access to these medicines.

Preserving the Medicare protected classes policy is essential. I opposed a proposal that would weaken important Medicare patient protections, which would have harmed patients living with mental illness, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, cancer and organ transplant.

Thank you, @POTUS, for putting #patientsfirst by rescinding the dangerous, last-minute demo that would strip protections for the #SixProtectedClasses. This is a huge win for patients! bit.ly/6PCStatement

This is particularly important for our #HIV community, as one of the six protected classes. #MedicarePartD

#FACT: #Medicare #PartD plans frequently use high tiers for medications, which subjects patients to more barriers and higher cost sharing, potentially hindering access to life-saving medications. Learn more: bit.ly/3m1586D #ProtectPartD

We applaud Medicare’s decision to #ProtectPartD and reverse a new rule that would have negatively affected access to OCD medications! The @IOCDF was part of a national partnership of 130+ orgs calling for this decision: partdpartnership.org/uploads…

This week, CMS announced it would pull back its proposal to allow health plans to limit coverage within six protected classes - this is a huge win for patients.

Thank you to our advocates across the country that took action by urging the Administration to protect coverage within Medicare’s six protected classes. Your outreach made this all possible! Thank you!

Yesterday CMS announced that it wouldn't move forward with proposed changes that would allow health plans to reduce coverage of drugs in Medicare’s 6 protected classes. This announcement is a huge victory for patients & the advocacy community. Learn more, bit.ly/38LICcD
