Section 1927 of the Social Security Act requires each State Medicaid agency to report quarterly prescription drug utilization information to drug manufacturers and to CMS via form CMS-R-144. As part of this information, the State Medicaid agencies are required to report the total Medicaid rebate amount they claim they are owed by each drug manufacturer for each covered prescription drug product each quarter. In accordance with new reporting requirements established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, form CMS-R-144 is being revised to include a new column that will enable States to distinguish between fee-for-service and managed care utilization.
