This final rule implements policies in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) related to the new legislative requirements in the Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019 (MSIAA), which address drug misclassification, as well as drug pricing and product data misreporting by manufacturers. Additionally, we are finalizing several other proposed program integrity and program administration provisions or modifications in this final rule, including revising and finalizing key definitions used in the MDRP. This rule also finalizes a provision not directly related to MDRP that makes revisions to the third-party liability regulation due to amendments made by the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2018. We also are finalizing our proposal to rescind revisions made by the December 31, 2020 final rule "Medicaid Program; Establishing Minimum Standards in Medicaid State Drug Utilization Review (DUR) and Supporting Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) for Drugs Covered in Medicaid, Revising Medicaid Drug Rebate and Third Party Liability (TPL) Requirements" ("the 2020 final rule") to the Determination of Best Price and Determination of Average Manufacturer Price (AMP) sections.
