Twelve Generic Drugs Introduced: See our article on this site for highlights of the new generics.

Five Brand-Name Drugs Introduced
In addition, 5 newly introduced brand-name drugs, some with multiple strengths, were added to Medicare Part D plan formularies.  These drugs include, BIJUVA®, CABLIVI®, DOVATO®, KRINTAFEL®, and MOTEGRITY®.

What is the NDC?
The NDC or National Drug Code is used to uniquely identify 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 drug manufacturer, the second set of number identifies the product and strength, and the third set of numbers identifies the packaging.  You can read more on this site

There are many reasons for NDCs to be added to the Medicare Part D program, a summary for all 44 new NDCs is as follows:

Reason for NDC Addition Occurrences
New Delivery Form 2
New Delivery Form and Strength 1
New Drug 13
New Drug and Strength 17
New Manufacturer and Strength 4
New Strength 7
Total New NDCs 44

Reminder: (1) Medicare Part D plans (PDPs and MAPDs) can change their formulary or drug list during the year and may drop one of your formulary medication mid-year for specific Medicare-allowable reasons (such as a new generic drug is available), but there are steps you can take if your medication is no longer covered by your prescription drug plan. (2) Your Medicare Part D plan will notify you if the plan drops a medication you are currently using.
