Request for Proposal for a Single Provider of Specialty Drugs (08/22/2007)
The State of Vermont, Office of Vermont Health Access is issuing a Request-For-Proposal (RFP) for a single provider for specialty drugs. The State seeks the assistance of those in the business of specialty pharmacy services to manage the complex therapies associated with chronic diseases that commonly require the use of unique drugs. This RFP is intended to invite innovative clinical and cost reduction program proposals that ensure the appropriate and compliant use of specialty products for the Medicaid and State covered populations identified in this RFP.
The State has identified four specific categories for its management program: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) treatment drugs, multiple sclerosis drugs, growth hormones, and hemophiliac factor. These categories were selected because of the vulnerable patient population requiring these complex therapies and the particular importance of these products. In issuing this RFP, the state expects to offer physicians and patients enhanced management of these treatments.
