(c) A manufacturer of the following prescribed drugs shall comply with the requirements set forth in this section: a drug for which the executive office was unable to successfully conclude supplemental rebate negotiations with the manufacturer under subsections (b) and (c) of section 12A of chapter 118E, and for which the commission has received notice from the executive office under subsection (g) of said section 12A of said chapter 118E.

(e) If, after review of any records furnished to the commission under subsection (b), the commission determines that the manufacturer’s pricing of the drug is potentially unreasonable or excessive in relation to the commission’s proposed value under subsection (b), the commission shall, with 30 days’ advance notice to the manufacturer, request that the manufacturer provide, at the manufacturer’s discretion, further information related to the pricing of the prescribed drug and the manufacturer’s justification for the pricing.

(F) the impact of particular coverage, cost-sharing, tiering, utilization management, prior authorization, medication therapy management, or other policies on patients’ adherence to the treatment regimen prescribed or otherwise recommended by their physicians;

(G) Whether beneficiaries who need treatment from or a consultation with a rare disease specialist or a specialist in the disease being treated by the first-in-class drug have adequate access and, if not, what factors are causing the limited access; and

(H) the demographics and the clinical description of patient populations.

(2) The commission shall develop and maintain a list of external experts who, because of their special expertise, are qualified to provide advice on rare disease issues and topics described in subsection (h)(1) of this section. The commission may, when appropriate to address a specific question, consult such external experts when making a determination on a proposed supplemental rebate or proposed value of a drug approved for the treatment of a rare disease or that is designated first-in-class, when consultation is necessary because the commission lacks the specific scientific, medical, or technical expertise necessary for the performance of its responsibilities and the necessary expertise can be provided by the external experts.

(3) For purposes of this section, external experts are individuals who possess scientific or medical training that the commission lacks with respect to one or more rare diseases or the disease treated by the first-in-class therapy under review.

(i) Not later than 60 days after receiving information from the manufacturer, as required under subsection (b) or (e), the commission shall issue a determination on whether the manufacturer’s pricing of a drug subject to the supplemental rebate negotiation that resulted in the provision of notice under section 12A of chapter 118E is unreasonable or excessive in relation to the commission’s proposed value of the drug.

(j) If the manufacturer fails to timely comply with the commission’s request for records under subsections (b) or otherwise knowingly obstructs the commission’s ability to issue its determination under subsection (i), including, but not limited to, providing incomplete, false or misleading information, the commission may impose appropriate sanctions against the manufacturer, including reasonable monetary penalties not to exceed $500,000, in each instance. The commission shall seek to promote compliance with this section and shall only impose a civil penalty on the manufacturer as a last resort.

(k) The commission shall adopt any written policies, procedures or regulations the commission determines necessary to implement this section.
