摘要

When the full benefits of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Action of 2003 (MMA) become operational in 2006, medications will be more affordable for some Medicare beneficiaries in rural America. However, an important policy question needs investigation: How will the MMA affect access to local pharmacy services. The answer is, in part, a function of the extent to which private prescription drug plans offering the Medicare benefit will incorporate local rural pharmacies into their provider networks. Their actions will be based on market considerations and on the requirements for local access contained in the MMA and regulation, which in turn will be shaped by how 'rural' is defined. This paper assesses how the definition of rural affects the potential impact of the specific access standards in the Proposed Rule to implement Title I of the MMA.
