Federal Upper Limit

We calculate the Affordable Care Act Federal Upper Limit (FUL) data according to the Medicaid Covered Outpatient Drug final regulation with comment. We update FUL values monthly, and they are effective on the first day of the month following the publication. States have up to 30 days after the effective date to implement the FUL. Further information on the FUL program can be found on the Federal Upper Limit page.
