Public Comment Sign-Up - Iowa Medicaid PDL

GUIDELINES FOR PROVIDING PUBLIC COMMENT TO THE IOWA MEDICAID PHARMACEUTICAL AND THERAPEUTICS (P&T) COMMITTEE Meetings are open to the public. It is the intention of the State of Iowa that those interested in speaking be allowed to do so in the public forum. To assure public input into the Preferred Drug List (PDL) process, the agenda for the P&T Committee will be posted on the website (www.iowamedicaidpdl.com) prior to the meeting and public comment can be submitted to that website. A sign-up sheet for walk-ins will be available at the door. Walk-in speakers will have their opportunity to speak in the order of sign-in after the scheduled speakers are finished.

In order to accommodate all interested parties, all speakers are requested to limit their comments to 5 minutes or less. If you represent a drug manufacturer as an employee, as a contractor, as a member of the manufacturer's Speaker Bureau, or by any other means, we expect you to cover your individual product or entire product line in that five-minute time frame. Speakers who represent multiple manufacturers will share their 5 minutes with the other manufacturer representative(s) whose product they are speaking on

The P&T Committee is interested in clinical information that may set a product apart from other products in the same PDL category. The Committee is not interested in materials intended to market a product or repetitive comments from solicited sources. We request that if a manufacturer has a concise synopsis (one side of one page) of its product and the clinical advantages of its product in comparison to other products in its PDL category, this information be forwarded via the website (IowaMedicaidPDL.com) so that information can be distributed to the committee members.

All inquiries related to this process are to be funneled through this website. Thank you for your cooperation.
