Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) emailed plan sponsors today requesting data needed to comply with the Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) reporting requirement. Groups that do not have an email address on file, or whose email address bounced, will be mailed a letter. To comply with the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), passed in December 2021, insurance companies and employer-based plans must submit information regarding prescription and health care spending to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) by June 1 of each year.
The majority of the required RxDC data is maintained by the health insurance carrier, but not all. Plan sponsors need to provide data Blue KC does not collect. Blue KC provides answers to frequently asked questions and further survey instructions.
If you have yet to receive an email from Blue KC, contact your Bukaty benefits consultant or service representative.
Failure to complete the data request may require employers to submit information on their own or be subject to a CMS penalty of $100 per day per affected individual.
For additional support, contact Bukaty Companies at 913-345-0440.
