Navigating RxDC Reporting for 2023

March 03, 2024 by Keenan

While it hardly seems possible, preparations are already underway for the Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) for the 2023 reference year, due no later than June 1, 2024.

As was the case last year, a plan will only be able to rely on its group health carrier to file on its behalf to the extent that it has provided the necessary premium and life year information to the carrier. Carriers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) have already begun sending out requests for information to group plans, some of those communications are easy to miss. Make sure you are opening all carrier correspondence, as deadlines are rapidly approaching. Please make sure you have a plan in place to respond with the needed information within your carrier’s timeline.
