SEC. 108. HHS INSPECTOR GENERAL STUDY AND REPORT ON BONA FIDE SERVICE 
              FEES.

    (a) Study.--The Inspector General of the Department of Health and 
Human Services (in this section referred to as the ``Inspector 
General'') shall conduct a study on the effect of the use of bona fide 
service fee contracting arrangements by drug manufacturers and other 
entities on Medicare payments for drugs and biologicals furnished under 
part B of title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395j et 
seq.). Such study shall include an analysis of--
            (1) the various types of entities that enter into 
        contracting arrangements that use bona fide service fees, such 
        as group purchasing organizations, wholesalers, providers, and 
        pharmacies;
            (2) the various types of bona fide service fee contracting 
        arrangements used by such entities;
            (3) the types of services that are paid for through such 
        arrangements;
            (4) whether manufacturers define bona fide service fees 
        differently across different entities;
            (5) how such arrangements are structured;
            (6) whether the structure or use of such arrangements has 
        changed over time;
            (7) the extent, if any, to which there is consistency 
        across manufacturers in what they consider to be a bona fide 
        service fee as opposed to a discount or rebate that should be 
        excluded from the determination of average sales price pursuant 
        to the methodology under section 1847A of the Social Security 
        Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-3a);
            (8) the overall magnitude of bona fide service fees;
            (9) what share of bona fide service fees are paid to 
        various entities;
            (10) how the magnitude of bona fide service fees compares 
        to other fees and rebates that are included in the 
        determination of average sales price;
            (11) whether and, if so, how much, the magnitude of bona 
        fide service fees has grown over time and how such growth 
        compares to growth in the magnitude of other fees and rebates; 
        and
            (12) what share of bona fide service fees are based on a 
        percentage of sales.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Inspector General shall submit to Congress a report 
containing the results of the study conducted under subsection (a), 
together with recommendations for such legislation and administrative 
action as the Inspector General determines appropriate.

                wholesale acquisition cost (or other reasonable measure

                management tools under State programs to provide long-

                legislative action to improve the effectiveness of, and 
                reduce costs for, covered outpatient drugs under 
                Medicaid while ensuring timely beneficiary access to
