Abstract:
This Office of Inspector General (OIG) report provides the Medicare market shares for diabetes test strips (DTS) provided through the National Mail-Order Program from April through June 2018. A second report, anticipated in early 2019, will provide the market shares for the same timeframe for DTS provided via non-mail order (i.e., from local pharmacies or supplier storefronts). These evaluations will inform future round(s) of the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP) for DTS. All CBP contracts expired on December 31, 2018, and new contracts are not expected before the end of 2020.
