A month or so later, I noticed that my insurance paid her less than 25% of her billed amount. After I did some research, I found out she was paid less than what Medicare would have paid her in 1996 for the same surgery! She charged $3650 and they paid $887. To me, that is unjust.
Prescription Drug User Fee Act. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) was a law passed by the United States Congress in 1992 which allowed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collect fees from drug manufacturers to fund the new drug approval process.ser fees imposed under PDUFA are expected to add $707 million to the FDA budget in 2011, roughly a quarter of the agency's total spending. User fees cover roughly 65 percent of the drug approval process.
