Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) Reporting Carrier Guidelines

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) requires health plan sponsors to submit detailed information on prescription drug expenses and coverage reports to CMS annually by June 1st.

Published: 03.18.2026

What is Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) Reporting?

Under Section 204 (of Title II, Division BB) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA), insurance companies and employer-based health plans must submit information about prescription drugs and health care spending. This data submission is called the Prescription Drug Data Collection Reporting, also referred to as RxDC Reporting.

In addition to collecting information about prescription drugs, it also reports on information about health care services spending and premium paid by employers and members.

CAA Prescription Drug Reporting is required to be submitted annually no later than June 1^st to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Who is responsible for Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) Reporting?

Fully-Insured Groups

For fully-insured groups, carriers are largely taking on the responsibility of reporting, but employers must still ensure that the carrier is filing on their behalf. It is important for plan sponsors to keep any written communication from the carrier that states how they are complying with the reporting requirement on behalf of fully-insured plans.

Self-Insured Groups / Level-Funded Plans

Self-insured groups, including level-funded plans, have more responsibility in ensuring the reporting is completed. We recommend that self-insured (and level-funded) plan sponsors contact their carrier, TPA and/or PBMs to ensure how these vendors can assist with the reporting requirement.

Self-insured plans may enter into a written agreement with their vendors to fulfill the reporting function on behalf of the plan; however, the plan sponsor remains liable for any failures.

Prescription Drug Data Collection Reporting (RxDC) Requirements by Carrier

Reference Year 2025 Reporting is Due June 1, 2026

Each carrier may have different guidelines and details for how they are handling RxDC reporting. For your reference, we have prepared the carrier RxDC reporting chart below which outlines carrier-specific guidelines and resources.

If a carrier survey remains open after the deadline, there is no guarantee that the information will be received by the carrier.
