CAA Section 204 Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) Reporting
Insurers offering group or individual coverage must report annual data on drug utilization and spending trends to the federal government. Fully insured carriers will handle the reporting on behalf of employer groups and individuals which means our HRA and MERP clients do not need to report.
E.D.I.S. will handle the reporting on behalf of our Stop Loss clients ahead of the June 1st deadline each year.
December 31, annually - Gag Clause Attestation
In late February 2023, the IRS, DOL and HHS issued a joint announcement detailing how group health plans are to comply with the gag clause attestation requirements, or Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestations (GCPCA), established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Employer sponsored group health plans (both self-funded and fully insured) are prohibited from entering into agreements with a health care provider, network or association of providers, Third Party Administrator, or other service provider where the plan is restricted from accessing and sharing certain information. Employer sponsored group health plans (both self-funded and fully insured plan sponsors) are also required to submit an annual attestation that the plan is in compliance with these requirements.
This reporting is due by December 31st each year and applies to both the health insurance issuers (Carriers) and the plan sponsors (Employers).
If you have an employer group with an HRA or MERP through EDIS, you can rest assured that this has been completed for your employer group.
If you have an employer group with an EDHP™ plan, EDIS has submitted for both the carrier and the employer group sponsoring the plan.
If you are concerned that there is a breach of private health information (PHI) or if you suspect a violation of HIPAA laws related to the administration of your E.D.I.S. plan, please contact us by emailing compliance@employerdriven.com.
You may contact us anonymously by phone by first dialing *67 then 888-886-7973. Request to speak to our Compliance Officer.
