will develop a National Average Drug
Acquisition Cost (NADAC) for States to
consider when developing
reimbursement methodology. The
NADAC is a new pricing benchmark
that will be based on the national
average costs that pharmacies pay to
acquire Medicaid covered outpatient
drugs. It is intended to provide States
with a more accurate reference price to
base reimbursement for prescription
drugs and will be based on drug
acquisition costs collected directly from
pharmacies through a nationwide
survey process. This survey will be
conducted on a monthly basis to ensure
that the NADAC reference file remains
current and up-to-date. A NADAC
Survey Request for Information has been
developed to send to random
pharmacies for voluntary completion.
CMS proposes to add the survey to an
existing collection, ‘‘Annual State
Report and Annual State Performance
Rankings.’’ The requirements and
burden associated with the annual
report/rankings are unaffected by this
proposed action; Form Number: CMS–
