Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Rebate Program State Reporting Forms;
Use: Form CMS 368 is a report of
contact for the State to name the
individuals involved in the Medicaid
Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) and is
required only in those instances where
a change to the originally submitted
data is necessary. The ability to require
the reporting of any changes to these
data is necessary to the efficient
operation of these programs. Form
CMS–R–144 is required from States
quarterly to report utilization for any
drugs paid for during that quarter.
While there are no changes to the
CMS–R–144 form, we propose nonsubstantive verbiage updates to the
corresponding CMR–R–144 File Format
and corresponding Data Definitions.
Form CMS–368 has been revised to
include a signature/date line for the
submitter to confirm that the
information provided is accurate. We
have also updated the entire CMS–368
form to a fillable format. We also
propose to remove the one-time system
update burden that was added in the
last iteration of this collection of
information request.
