AMP POSTPONED!!!

Royce C. Lamberth, United States District Judge, signed Court Orders to POSTPONE AMP as well as to POSTPONE posting of AMP on a public website stating: "Defendents' (CMS) actions are likely to cause Plantiff's (NACDS and NCPA) to suffer irreparable harm for which no adequate remedy at law exists as Plantiff's members will not be able to recover from the Defendants if the AMP rule is implemented, and thousands of Plantiff's members pharmacies are expected to be forced to reduce hours and services, forced out of the Medicaid program, or forced to close." Please read the full 3 page Court Order.

Special thanks to Tobey Schule, RPh for sharing this information with us.

I noticed that you have also been following the AMP lawsuit closely. FYI, I've posted my independent analyses on the Drug Channels blog:
1. Implications of the injunction (No AMP for You!).

2. Interpreting the Order (
