(DSMO) after completion of a consensus

On January 9, 2018, the DSMO
submitted a letter to NCVHS
recommending the adoption of two
National Council of Prescription Drug

adopted retail pharmacy standards.
These updates include: (1) An update to
the retail pharmacy standard, the
NCPDP Telecommunication and Batch
standard version D.0., which was
adopted in 2009. The update would be
NCPDP Telecommunication and Batch
standard version F2, which would
enable eligibility verification, claims,
services, information reporting, prior
authorization (for pharmacy), and predetermination of benefits; and (2) an
update to the Medicaid subrogation
standard, also adopted in 2009, to
expand subrogation to all payers,
including Medicare Parts C and D. The
updated subrogation standard is the

version 3.0. It will enable all payers to
conduct a uniform process to support
compliance with requirements for
recovery of federal, state and other plan
overpayments, mitigating manual
processes currently in place.
The purpose of this NCVHS Standards
Subcommittee hearing is to obtain input

benefits of implementing the updated
versions of the two pharmacy standards:
NCPDP F2 and pharmacy subrogation,

standards, or mitigate burdens.

change. Please refer to the posted
agenda for any updates.
