Or. Admin. Code § 410-121-0157 - Participation in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program
(1) The Oregon Medicaid Pharmaceutical
Services Program is a participant in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, created by the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (PPACA) enacted on March 23,2010 and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, (HCERA) enacted on March 30, 2010, together called
the Affordable Care Act, requires the Division to collect drug rebates for
covered outpatient drugs dispensed to enrollees of Medicaid managed care
organizations, (MCOs). The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program requires a drug
manufacturer to enter into and have in effect a national rebate agreement with
the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for States to
receive federal funding for outpatient drugs dispensed to Medicaid patients.
The drug rebate program is administered by CMS's Center for Medicaid and State
Operations (CMSO). Pharmaceutical companies participating in this program have
signed agreements with CMS to provide rebates to the Division of Medical
Assistance Programs (Division) on all their drug products. The Division will
reimburse providers only for outpatient drug products manufactured or labeled
by companies participating in this program.
(2) Documents in rule by reference: Names and
Labeler Code numbers for participants in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are
the responsibility of and maintained by CMS. The Division receives this
information from CMS in the form of numbered and dated Releases. The Division
includes in rule by reference, the CMS Releases online at:

[File Link Not Available].
(3)
Retroactive effective dates: The CMS Medicaid Drug Rebate Program experiences
frequent changes in participation and often this information is submitted to
the Division after the effective date(s) of some changes. Therefore, certain
participant additions and deletions may be effective retroactively. See
specific instructions in the CMS Releases for appropriate effective date(s) of
changes.
(4) The Division contracts
with a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) to manage the Medicaid Rebate Dispute
Resolution program. Pharmacy providers must verify the accuracy of their
Medicaid pharmacy claims with the PBM within 30 days of request in instances
where drug manufacturers dispute their claim information. Verification can be
photocopies of drug invoices showing that the billed products were in stock
during the time of the date of service.
(5) The actual National Drug Code (NDC)
dispensed and the actual metric decimal quantity dispensed, must be
billed.
