Prescription Data Collection (RxDC) - What this means to clients
More transparency in the world of prescription drug prices is on it's way.
Under Section 204 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), insurance companies and employer based health plans must submit information about prescription drug and health care spending.
This information will help identify major drivers of increases in prescription drug and health care spending, understand how prescription drug rebates impact premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and promote transparency in prescription drug pricing.
