list of drugs, including information on
prior authorization, step therapy,

Medicare beneficiaries. This allows
CMS to review the benefit packages in

bids during with incredibly tight
timeframes. This data is also used to
populate data on Medicare Plan Finder,
which allows beneficiaries to access and
compare Medicare Advantage and
Prescription Drug plans. Form Number:
