• For N drugsFor N drugs, Unit Rebate Amount (URA) = 11% of AMP, Unit Rebate Amount (URA) = 11% of AMP

• For S or I drugsFor S or I drugs, URA = Basic Rebate + Additional Rebate, URA = Basic Rebate + Additional Rebate

Basic Rebate = the greater of 15.1% of AMP Basic Rebate = the greater of 15.1% of AMP oror AMP – BP AMP – BP Additional Rebate (CPI-U “creep” calculation) = Inflation Additional Rebate (CPI-U “creep” calculation) = Inflation
