Abstract: Section 1927 of the Social Security Act requires drug manufacturers to enter into and have in effect a rebate agreement with CMS in order for States to receive funding for drugs dispensed to Medicaid recipients. Drug manufacturers must explain to States any rebate payment adjustments for the current quarter, and any prior quarters. The information is used to reconcile drug rebate payments made by manufacturers with the State invoices of rebates due.
