IT IS MEDICARE PART D ATTESTATION TIME
Annual Medicare Part D Pharmacy Attestations
It is that time of year again, Medicare Part D Attestations. As always, the Medicare Part D Plans (PDP) will have you either attest directly with them, the NCPDP Website, or possibly through your PSAO. If you receive a request from a PDP, follow their instructions and abide by their deadlines (usually 12/31/2022).
If you have not yet completed the standardized 2022 Med D Attestation available on the NCPDP website, log in to your Pharmacy NCPDP profile at: https://accessonline.ncpdp.org.
If your Pharmacy needs NCPDP login information, please email NCPDP at pharmacyhelp@ncpdp.org and include the pharmacy name and NCPDP number.
