Pharmacy Maximum Allowable Cost Program Information

This page contains information on the Pharmacy Maximum Allowable Cost (MAC) Program that was implemented on April 1, 2003 to the Medicaid program claims processing system for pharmacy services.  This program will assign an upper payment limit to those generically available multi-source drugs for which a Federal Upper Limit (FUL) has not been set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  The state MAC is intended to provide a bridge between when a generic is available for a product and when CMS applies an FUL to the product.
