Summary
Illinois updated the list of pharmaceutical labelers with signed Medicaid Drug Rebate Agreements. Pharmacies must use accurate 11-digit NDC numbers when billing and maintain invoices for audit purposes, but non-drug items like syringes and diabetic supplies can be dispensed regardless of rebate agreement status.
Action Required
Immediately: Pharmacy staff must verify they are using current alpha and numeric lists of pharmaceutical labelers with signed rebate agreements from CMS. Ensure all drug claims use accurate 11-digit NDC numbers. Maintain invoices for all drug products billed to Illinois Medicaid for audit purposes. Non-drug items (needles, syringes, diabetic testing supplies, lancets, ostomy items) may be dispensed from any labeler regardless of rebate agreement status.
