Part B Drug Competitive Acquisition Program (CAP) Quarterly Drug List Update
As described in BR 5079.3 and BR 5079.4, the list of drugs supplied under the CAP is subject to quarterly updates which must be disseminated to the CAP designated carrier and then local carriers. CMS makes a CAP drug file available to the designated carrier once each quarter unless there are no updates to the CAP drug list, in which case the previous quarter’s file shall continue to be used. The initial release of this RUN can be found in Chapter 17, Section 100.8.2 of the IOM.
