Requests to collect 2024 CAA D1 prescription drug data begin this month

Large Group, Small Group, National | CO, CT, IN, KY, ME, MO, NH, NV, OH, VA, WI, CA, GA, NY-DOWNSTATE, NY-UPSTATE

The Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) reporting provision of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) requires reports on drug utilization and spending trends be submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services each year. As a reminder, we are required to include the average monthly premiums paid by members and by employers in the Premium and Life Years (D1) reporting.

The next RxDC report is due by June 1, 2025. We will follow the same process as in prior years and will file on behalf of our fully insured and ASO clients for the benefits we administer and maintain. This includes ASO groups who opt-in to the D1 reporting. In order to submit all required information and ensure reporting accuracy, we will request some information from our clients.

Here is a summary of the communications we will send to Large Group, Small Group, and National Account clients and the actions they will need to take for us to complete their required RxDC filing.

The week of February 17 – Fully Insured clients

  • We will email Fully Insured National Account, Large Group, and Small Group commercial clients, as well as clients with Minimum Premium, MEWA, and Anthem Balanced Funding plans. The email will include a link to an online form for these clients to provide the information we need to complete the filings on their behalf.

Also the week of February 17 – ASO client D1 opt-in

  • We will email ASO Large Group and National Account clients and provide a link for them to request that we file their 2024 D1 Premium and Life Years report. For those who opt-in, we will submit the aggregated data by market segment on their behalf for the benefits we administer and maintain.

Early June 2025 -- Confirmation of RxDC filing

  • When the filing is complete, we’ll publish an article in EmployerAccess Latest News to let clients know. We’ll also post an article in our Broker Hub, Broker Plus app, Producer Toolbox, and Anthem Consultant Hub new channels.
