The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is asking for public comments on plans to gather information from the public under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This involves several forms related to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, which they are updating to handle new data formats and higher drug prices. They require input on the accuracy of their burden estimates and suggestions to improve information collection. Comments must be submitted by March 25, 2021, as noted in the Federal Register.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services wants to know what people think about their plans to ask for information, like how they're handling things with medicines' prices, so they can make sure they're doing a good job and making it easier for everyone. They want people to tell them by March 25 if they think their ideas are good or if they have better ones.
