Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has released the Medi-Span® Federal Government Pricing File™, which consolidates NADAC pricing data from CMS, serving as a key resource to payers, pharmacy benefit managers, and retail pharmacies.
In late November, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the first publication of the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC), a new national benchmark reflective of the prices pharmacies pay to acquire outpatient prescription and OTC medications.
Medi-Span has developed the Federal Government Pricing File that reports NADAC pricing information, allowing Medi-Span customers to easily utilise the new pricing information for their business needs. Additionally, the file also extrapolates pricing to similar NDCs that are not reported by CMS, providing a more robust picture of affected NDCs reported by Medi-Span. The extrapolated NDCs are readily identified and distinguished from the CMS-based NDCs.
