Wilson H. Taylor Scholar Joseph Antos

In October 2007, American Health & Drug Benefits asked Dr. Joseph Antos to discuss the forces that have shaped Medicare's policies and their impact on the various stakeholders in US healthcare. The first part of the interview appeared in AHDB

in February 2008. This second part focuses on the impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services drug coverage on the future of biologic products. This discussion does not reflect any new developments occurring after October, such as the recent recommendation of the US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee to narrow the indication for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents to patients with cancer.
