| Annual Performance Measures In 2003 the Oregon Legislature authorized the formation of the OPDP, a prescription drug purchasing pool, to help increase access to prescription drugs by the uninsured and lower costs for state and city governments to help them stay within budgeted goals. The Oregon Prescription Drug Program (OPDP) will meet these goals by pooling prescription drug purchasing power, using evidence-based research to develop a preferred drug list of lowest cost drugs, securing competitive discounts with pharmacies and bringing transparent pharmacy benefit management services to groups. We hope to unite Effective December 7, 2006 the voters of Oregon passed Measure 44 by a 78% majority. Measure 44 removed the eligibility criteria and opened the program to any resident without adequate prescription drug coverage. Effective February 1, 2007, OPDP joined the Washington Prescription Drug Program to form the Northwest Prescription Drug Consortium. The Consortium entered into a contract with The ODS Companies for pharmacy benefit administration. | |
