March 2016 Summary of the new Medications added to Medicare Part D Plan Formularies (Drug Lists) Part 2: M-Z

Monthly Formulary changes · published Apr 9, 2016

The March, 2016 Medicare Part D plan formulary data (or drug lists) includes the addition of 270 new National Drug Codes (NDC) to the Medicare Part D program.  These NDCs represent 158 different drugs, many with multiple strengths. There were so many new NDCs new to the March dataset, that we need to split this article into Part 1: (A-L) and Part 2: (M-Z) to coverage all of the new medications.

In addition to the generics discussed in Part 1: A-L, Memantine, the generic for Namenda; Molindone, the generic for Moban; Paliperidone, the generic for Invega; Penoxybenzamine, the generic for Dibenzyline; Pimozide, the generic for Orap; Repaglinide-Metformin, the generic for PrandiMet; Telmisartan-HCTZ, the generic for Micardis HCT; and Tetrabenazine, the generic for Xenazine were added to many 2016 Medicare Part D formularies.

The NDC uniquely identifies a particular drug, manufacturer, strength, and packaging combination. The NDC is often shown on your prescription bottle as an 11-digit code (see the charts below) or could be formatted as 00000-0000-00 where the first set of numbers identifies the manufacturer, the second set of number identifies the product and strength, and the third set of numbers identifies the packaging.

There are many reasons for NDCs to be added to the Medicare Part D program, a summary for all new NDCs is as follows:
