consumer purchase prices, net of
discounts and rebates. The contractor
shall provide notification when a drug
product becomes generally available
and that the contract include such terms
and conditions as the Secretary shall
specify, including a requirement that
the vendor monitor the marketplace.
CMS has developed a National Average
Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) for
states to consider when developing
reimbursement methodology. The
NADAC is a pricing benchmark that is
based on the national average costs that
pharmacies pay to acquire Medicaid
covered outpatient drugs. This pricing
benchmark is based on drug acquisition
costs collected directly from pharmacies
through a nationwide survey process.
This survey is conducted on a monthly
basis to ensure that the NADAC
reference file remains current and up-todate. Form Number: CMS–10241 (OMB
control number 0938–1041); Frequency:
Monthly; Affected Public: Private sector
(Business or other for-profits); Number
of Respondents: 72,000; Total Annual
Responses: 72,000; Total Annual Hours:
36,000. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact: Lisa Shochet at

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Collection of
Prescription Drug Event Data From
Contracted Part D Providers for
Payment; Use: The PDE data is used in
the Payment Reconciliation System to
perform the annual Part D payment
reconciliation, any PDE data within the
Coverage Gap Phase of the Part D benefit
is used for invoicing in the CGDP, and
the data are part of the report provided
to the Secretary of the Treasury for
Section 9008.
CMS has used PDE data to create
summarized dashboards and tools,
including the Medicare Part D Drug
Spending Dashboard & Data, the Part D
Manufacturer Rebate Summary Report,
and the Medicare Part D Opioid
Prescribing Mapping Tool. The data are
also used in the Medicare Trustees
Report. Due to the market sensitive
nature of PDE data, external uses of the
data are subject to significant
limitations. However, CMS does analyze
the data on a regular basis to determine
drug cost and utilization patterns in
order to inform programmatic patterns
and to develop informed policy in the
Part D program.
The information users will be
Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs),
third party administrators and
pharmacies, and the PDPs, MA–PDs,
Fallbacks and other plans that offer
