PDE History and Purpose
• PDE introduced in 2006; no predecessor record format or system existed
• Designed and implemented to reconcile Part D payments
• When feasible, the PDE incorporated data from existing NCPDP billing transactions
• When necessary, CMS defined data elements needed for Part D payment reconciliation
• CMS-defined date and financial data elements use NCPDP format

PDE is Final Action Summary of Individual Claim
• PDE summarizes adjudication of an individual claim• Unlike other Medicare Programs, Part D Sponsor (not
CMS) adjudicates claims following CMS guidance• Part D sponsors must retain audit trails linking PDEs
to source billing transactions
• Reporting is based on final action• When sponsor adjusts or deletes previously saved
record the “most recent record submitted” is designated as final action record
• Excludes final action deleted records

Duplicate Editing
16
Applies to Original Records only
777: Duplicate PDE record exists in DDPS data warehouse (originals only)
784: Duplicate PDE record, originally submitted by different contract
785: Duplicate PDE records exist on this file (CMS makes no assumption about sponsor intent)
Duplicate logic disregards both beneficiary and contract

Business Order Logic Editing

•Sponsors must submit records in order
•CMS makes no assumptions about sponsor intent
660: Adjustment/Deletion PDE does not match existing record
661: Cannot adjust a deleted record662: Existing PDE has already been deleted
Note: Original record may follow a Delete record

Service Provider ID Edits
20
•Since May 2008, when NPI implementation completed, NPI routinely reported instead of NCPDP ID•Service Provider ID field edited against NCPDP file (updated monthly)
•Ensures that provider is a pharmacy•NCPDP file contains NCPDP and associated NPI identifiers
•Vaccine PDEs: CMS accepts physician NPI in lieu of entry on NCPDP file, provided that NPI, is reported in valid format

NDC Edits
21
735: NDC code does not match a valid code on the NDC database (updated weekly)
738: NDC identifies a Part D non-covered drug, i.e., NDCs not listed with the FDA
740: NDC is DESI drug
![Page 22: Prescription Drug Event (PDE) Record Overview Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program Public Meeting June 1, 2010.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551406a3550346dd488b4b9f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Two Phase Data Quality Oversight
22
Phase One: Online editing; CMS edits individual PDEs to the fullest extent possible
Phase Two: Ad Hoc studies to evaluate data quality•Studies based on saved PDEs
•Data screens applied to individual records
•Data screens evaluate consistency of individual record in context of all records for single beneficiary
•Questions posted on PDE validation web site; sponsors evaluate and respond
•Discontinue screens with high false positive rates

Manufacturer’s Perspective
24
•Differentiate data sources• The PDE is a final action record which summarizes
multiple transactions for a single claim• Discount is not the same as rebate
•Recognize that PDE data is subject to rigorous scrutiny because it must support Part D Payment Reconciliation•Reserve predictions/conclusions; year one data lags may not be representative•Remember that Part D is a capitated benefit; duplicates and increased utilization reduce sponsor revenue
