Short Statement: This package is being revised to include a second survey tool to survey the pharmacies. This second survey is entitled "Survey of Retail Community Pharmacy Invoice Prices." CMS will also develop a National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) for States to consider when developing reimbursement methodology. The NADAC is a new pricing benchmark that will be based on the national average costs that pharmacies pay to acquire Medicaid covered outpatient drugs. This pricing benchmark will be based on drug acquisition costs collected directly from pharmacies through a nationwide survey process. This survey will be conducted on a monthly basis to ensure that the NADAC reference file remains current and up-to-date.
