Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing (GLOBE) Model (CMS-5545-P)

This proposed rule proposes to implement the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing Model (“GLOBE Model”), a new Medicare payment model under section 1115A of the Social Security Act. The GLOBE Model would test whether a payment model that uses an alternative method for calculating Part B inflation rebate amounts for certain separately payable Part B drugs and biologicals reduces costs for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries and the Medicare program while preserving quality of care.
