CMS Releases ‘Dashboard’ on Drug Benefit

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has released an “electronic tool” that offers information on costs and payment of the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.

The data comes from prescription drug event records. Plans providing coverage submit the data as a condition of payment. Information presented includes the top 10 drugs and brand/generic dispensing rates.

The dashboard, which is in beta release, may be found at http://www.cms.gov/dashboard/downloads/partDdash.asp?agree=yes&next=Accept
