In accordance with Section 1847A of the Social Security Act (the Act), Medicare Part B covered drugs and biologicals not paid on a cost or prospective payment basis are paid based on the manufacturersâ average sales price (ASP) data submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The reporting requirements are specified in 42 CFR Part 414 Subpart J. In the Calendar Year (CY) 2005 IFC, we published information about the ASP reporting requirements for Medicare Part B drugs and biologicals (66 FR 17935) and specified that manufacturers must report the ASP data using our Addendum A template. CMS migrated the submission of ASP data and signatures to an internet-based automated system in July 2020. The data that is being collected has not changed.
As part of an ASP modernization effort, the data collection system has been modified and enhanced to improve the design and flow through the use of Human-Centered Design best practices. These modifications include changes to the design and function of the data collection system, the addition of new data fields, and revisions to the product and financial data templates. The field âMarketing Start Dateâ is being added so that the user can input the marketing date for the drug. The marketing date of the drug is used to determine how the payment will be calculated and to assign the benchmark quarter used to calculate inflation adjusted coinsurance and rebates per IRA 11101.
Our CY 2026 PFS NPRM (CMS-1832-P, OMB 0938-AV50) published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2025 (90 FR 32352). Overall, the rule would increase our active burden estimates by 610 responses and 7,495 hours.
