April 2016 summary of the new medications added to Medicare Part D plan formularies (drug lists)

Monthly Formulary changes · published Apr 25, 2016

The April, 2016 Medicare Part D plan formulary data (or drug lists) includes the addition of 56 new National Drug Codes (NDC) to the Medicare Part D program.  These NDCs represent 38 different drugs, many with multiple strengths. Lincomycin HCl the generic for Lincocin was added to many 2016 Medicare Part D formularies.  As a note, the May 2016 Medicare Part D plan formulary data included no new drug codes and only minor additions and deletions from plan 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 is as follows:

Reason for NDC Addition Occurrences
New Delivery Form and Strength 3
New Drug 12
New Drug and Strength 19
New Manufacturer 1
New Manufacturer and Delivery Form 1
New Manufacturer and Strength 10
New Manufacturer, Strength and Delivery Form
