Your Part D Experience Matters

Description

CMS is asking pharmacies to help shape the future of Medicare Part D contracting. From the podcast booth at #NCPA2026, Ronna Hauser, NCPA senior vice president of policy and pharmacy affairs, joins host John Beckner to unpack CMS' request for information on reasonable and relevant Part D pharmacy contract terms. They discuss what CMS is seeking, why independent pharmacy owners' real-world experiences matter, and how to make comments specific, meaningful and data driven. The RFI is open through Nov. 23, 2026, and covers issues including reimbursement, dispensing fees, contracting practices, performance measures, and audits.
