BILL NUMBER:A9207
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to
the New York state prescription medication cost containment program
PURPOSE: To enhance cost savings to New York State in the procurement
of prescription medications for its civil service employees and reti-
rees.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds section 159-d to the civil service law.
Authorizes the president of the civil service commission to create the
New York state prescription medication cost containment program.
Provides that New York state civil service employees and retirees shall
be offered several options to fill medical prescriptions through a Cana-
dian mail order company.
JUSTIFICATION: This legislation is based on a program that has operated
in Schenectady County since 2004. The county has obtained significant
cost savings by using a voluntary program whereby its employees and
retirees can obtain their prescription medications through a Canadian
drug purchasing program. Approximately 60% of the county's active
employees and 95% of its retirees participate in the program. The County
reported a savings of $6 million in the first four years of the program
and in January and February of 2009, reported that drug costs actually
decreased five per cent from the same period in 2008. New York State
should take appropriate steps to reduce costs and the Schenectady County
