(a) For purposes of this section, a program benefit may mean a disease management program authorized under this title, a drug product donation program, a drug utilization control program, prescriber and beneficiary counseling and education, a fraud or abuse initiative, and another service or administrative investment with guaranteed savings to a program a health and human services agency operates.
(b) The commission may enter into a written agreement with a manufacturer to accept a program benefit instead of a supplemental rebate only if:
(1) the program benefit yields savings that are at least equal to the amount the manufacturer would have provided under a state supplemental rebate agreement during the current biennium as determined by the written agreement;
(2) the manufacturer:
(A) posts a performance bond guaranteeing savings to this state; and
(B) agrees that if the savings are not achieved in accordance with the written agreement, the manufacturer will forfeit the bond to this state, less any savings that were achieved; and
(3) the program benefit is in addition to other program benefits the manufacturer currently offers to recipients of Medicaid or related programs.
(c) For purposes of this subchapter, the commission may consider a monetary contribution or donation to the arrangements described in Subsection (b) for the purpose of offsetting expenditures to other state health care programs, but that funding may not be used to offset expenditures for covered outpatient drugs as defined by 42 U.S.C. Section 1396r-8(k)(2) under the vendor drug program. An arrangement under this subsection may not yield less than the amount this state would have benefited under a supplemental rebate. The commission may consider an arrangement under this subchapter as satisfying the requirements of Section 549.0204 (a).
