May 2017 summary of the new medications added to Medicare Part D plan formularies (drug lists)

Monthly Formulary changes · published May 14, 2017

The May, 2017 Medicare Part D plan formulary data (or drug lists) includes the addition of 43 new National Drug Codes (NDC) to the Medicare Part D program.  These NDCs represent 33 different drugs, many with multiple strengths. Two new generic equivalents were added, Lopinavir-Ritonavir, the generic for Kaletra, and a new strength of Glyburide/Metformin, the generic for Glucovance.

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 43 new medications is as follows:

Reason for NDC Addition Occurrences
New Delivery Form 1
New Drug 10
New Drug and Strength 2
New Manufacturer 1
New Manufacturer and Strength 18
