SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Health and Human 

Services, Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

has contracted with Eastern Research 

Group, Inc. (ERG) to develop an analysis 

of supply, distribution, demand, and 

access issues associated with IVIG. As 

part of this analysis, a Town Hall 

meeting is being scheduled to obtain 

public comment on access issues to be 

used in the analysis. 

Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) 

is a plasma product that is used to treat 

patients with immune system disorders. 

Immune globulins are antibodies. IVIG 

has a number of on-label uses including 

treatment of humoral 

immunodeficiency, acute and chronic 

idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, B 

cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (to 

prevent recurrent bacterial infections), 

Kawasaki disease, pediatric HIV, and 

bone marrow transplantation. It is also 

used for off-label treatments including 

autoimmune, neurological, and systemic 

inflammatory conditions. According to 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services Advisory Committee on Blood 

Safety and Availability, more than half 

of IVIG use may be for off-label 

indications. Due at least in part to the 

increase in off-label uses, demand for 

IVIG has increased in recent years. The 

number of infusion days in hospitals 

increased to 70,000 days in 2004 from 

40,000 days in 2002 and the number of 

grams infused in physician offices 

increased by 1.7 million grams, between 

2003 and 2004, from 2.3 to 4.0 million 

grams. 

IVIG is covered under Medicare Part 

B. In 2005, Medicare shifted from 

Average Wholesale Price (AWP) as the 

basis for reimbursement to Average
