- Summary:
- The topic of this assessment is the evaluation of drug compendia for the purpose of informing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on decisions about coverage of off-label uses of drugs and biologics in anticancer treatment. This coverage is dictated by Section 1861(t)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act, which describes the reliance upon recommendations in compendia, specifically the AMA Drug Evaluations (AMA-DE; no longer in existence), American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information (AHFS-DI), and United States Pharmacopeia Drug Information (USP-DI).
