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

Monthly Formulary changes · published Aug 17, 2016

The August, 2016 Medicare Part D plan formulary data (or drug lists) includes the addition of 82 new National Drug Codes (NDC) to the Medicare Part D program.  These NDCs represent 47 different drugs, many with multiple strengths.

What are National Drug Codes or NDCs?
As a reminder, 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 1
New Drug 12
New Drug and Strength 39
New Manufacturer 2
New Manufacturer and Strength 14
New Strength 12
New Strength and Packaging

Total New NDCs 82
