Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Survey of Retail
Prices: Payment and Utilization Rates,
and Performance Rankings; Use: This
study is divided into two parts. Part I
focuses on the retail community
pharmacy consumer prices. It also
includes reporting by the states of
payment and utilization rates for the 50
most widely prescribed drugs, and
comparing state drug payment rates
with the national retail survey prices.
(Effective July 1, 2013, CMS has
suspended Part I of the survey, pending
funding decisions.) Part II focuses on
the retail community pharmacy
ingredient costs. This segment surveys
the average acquisition costs of all
covered outpatient drugs purchased by
retail community pharmacies. The
prices will be updated on at least a
monthly basis. Form Number: CMS–
10241 (OMB control number 0938–

organization (EQRO) information
obtained through methods consistent

This information is used by the EQRO
to determine the quality of care
furnished by an MCO. Since the EQR
results are made available to the general
public, this allows Medicaid/CHIP
enrollees and potential enrollees to
make informed choices regarding the
selection of their providers. It also
allows advocacy organizations,
researchers, and other interested parties
access to information on the quality of
