On April 10, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced through its RegTap portal that the Health Insurance Oversight System (HIOS) is now open to Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) submissions for 2023. Any plan sponsor submitting the RxDC report on its own must be registered with HIOS.
CMS has provided several resources for navigating the registration process:
HIOS Access Training
HIOS Access RxDC User Guide
RxDC User Manual
EMPLOYER CONSIDERATIONS
While this is a one-time registration, the first time can take several weeks, so plan sponsors are encouraged to register early. The 2023 reference year submission is due June 1, 2024.
