Medicare Part D Excluded Drug List
MEDICARE PART D EXCLUDED DRUGS LIST 2016_updated July 2016
Reason: LIST = multiple reasons it's excluded; "not covered under Part D law"
Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.
Reason: DESI = Less Than Effective (LTE) drug for ALL indications

Reason: LIST = multiple reasons it's excluded; "not covered under Part D law"
Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.

MEDICARE PART D EXCLUDED DRUGS LIST 2016_updated July 2016
Reason: LIST = multiple reasons it's excluded; "not covered under Part D law"
Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.
Reason: DESI = Less Than Effective (LTE) drug for ALL indications

MEDICARE PART D EXCLUDED DRUGS LIST 2016_updated July 2016
Reason: LIST = multiple reasons it's excluded; "not covered under Part D law"
Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.
Reason: DESI = Less Than Effective (LTE) drug for ALL indications

MEDICARE PART D EXCLUDED DRUGS LIST 2016_updated July 2016
Reason: LIST = multiple reasons it's excluded; "not covered under Part D law"
Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.
Reason: DESI = Less Than Effective (LTE) drug for ALL indications

Reason: Not properly listed with FDA = CMS considers it best practice for Part D sponsors to consider the proper listing of a drug product with the FDA as a prerequisite for making a Part D drug coverage determination. The
FDA is unable to provide regulatory status determinations through their regular processes if a drug product is not properly listed. Therefore, Part D sponsors should begin the drug coverage determination process by confirming
that a prescription drug product national drug code (NDC) is properly listed with the FDA.
Reason: DESI = Less Than Effective (LTE) drug for ALL indications
