CAA RxDC reporting terminated group outreach
In March, Kaiser contacted their current customers and brokers to request group specific information required for them to complete aggregated reports for pharmacy reporting under the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021. To help ensure compliance with the reporting requirements, groups were required to provide specific information via Kaiser's form by April 3, 2023.
Kaiser set the April 3rd deadline to allow groups to identify and remediate any issues with this complex process before the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) June 1, 2023 due date. In working with the data submitted by April 3rd, Kaiser found that their original outreach inadvertently omitted groups that terminated their coverage with Kaiser Permanente prior to the original outreach. In response, Kaiser will be sending emails directly to the identified groups requesting they submit the needed information for their company by 5 p.m. PT on May 18, 2023.
To remain on track to meet the CMS submission deadline, Kaiser is only accepting data from the groups previously omitted.
