BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Biden executive order aims to lower prescription drug costs

October 18, 2022 Reprints

President Biden issued an executive order detailing new payment and delivery models intended to lower the prices of prescription drugs, reports Healthcare Finance News. The order follows August's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was intended to protect beneficiaries from high drug costs by phasing in a cap for out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy, and establishing a $35 monthly cap per prescription for insulin covered by a Medicare prescription drug plan, as well as insulin delivered through traditional pumps.
