Part D Information for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers

This page provides important information related to Part D program for Pharmaceutical companies.

The Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program (Discount Program) makes manufacturer discounts available to eligible Medicare beneficiaries receiving applicable, covered Part D drugs, while in the coverage gap. In order to participate in the Discount Program, manufacturers must sign an agreement with CMS to provide the discount on all of its applicable drugs (i.e. prescription drugs approved or licensed under new drug applications or biologic license applications). Beginning in 2011, only those applicable drugs that are covered under a signed manufacturer agreement with CMS will be covered under Part D.

For 2013, CMS has provided on the download section of this page the list of participating Manufacturers, Labeler Codes and associated Labeler Codes Firm Names.

For the 2015 contract year, instructions for new manufacturers seeking to participate in the Coverage Gap Discount Program should click the download entitled "2015 Instructions".
