CMS is pleased to announce that Myers and Stauffer, LC has been awarded contract number CMS-2011-ACA03 entitled "Survey of Retail Prices: Payment and Utilization Rates, and Performance Rankings." This contract was awarded after a thorough national search for a well-qualified vendor. The purpose of the Survey of Retail Prices is to develop a monthly survey of retail community pharmacy prescription drug prices and the generation of publicly available pricing files. We anticipate that these files will afford State Medicaid agencies with a valid array of covered outpatient drug information, regarding retail prices for the ingredient costs of prescription drugs and consumer purchase prices for such drugs. We expect that State Medicaid agencies will be able to use this information to compare their own pricing methodologies and payments to those derived from this survey. Additionally, on an annual basis, CMS will obtain from the State Medicaid agencies information on their prescription drug payment and utilization rates and prepare a comparative report regarding the performance of the States' reimbursement prices and the national retail price data collected in the survey.
