theflyonthewall.com: Genzyme says encouraged by CMS decision
Genzyme said it welcomed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services', or CMS, decision not to include oral medications without IV equivalents in Medicare’s End Stage Renal Disease patient benefit. According to the final rule, these medications, including Genzyme’s Renvela, will not be included in the bundle until January 1, 2014. "Genzyme is encouraged by CMS’ final decision, as we believe it will put the needs of the patients first by providing the time needed to collect data to document the current standard of care, enabling assessment in the future of any unintended negative consequences that the new bundled payment system may have on the management and outcomes of dialysis patients," the company said. :theflyonthewall.com

Reports Q2 revenue $1.08B vs. consensus of $1.16B. Non-GAAP figures include pre-tax manufacturing write-offs of $21.9M primarily for material that had to be discarded following the interruption in operations at the Allston facility late in the first quarter and for costs associated with the temporary shutdown of the company’s Haverhill, U.K., facility in December 2009. These figures also include a pre-tax write-down of $32.3M for the company’s 2008 equity investment in Isis Pharmaceuticals, reflecting the extent to which the share price paid exceeds the current market value.
