The Prescription Drug Data Collection (RxDC) reporting provision of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) requires reports on drug utilization and spending trends be submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services each year.   The next RxDC report is due by June 1, 2026. Anthem will follow the same process as in prior years and will file on behalf of fully insured and ASO clients for the benefits they administer and maintain. This includes ASO groups who opt-in to the D1 reporting. In order to submit all required information and ensure reporting accuracy, information is requested from their clients.

The deadline for employers to complete the RFI survey is March 25, 2026.

Beginning the week of February 16 – Fully Insured clients
Anthem will email Fully Insured National Account, Large Group, and Small Group commercial clients, as well as clients with Minimum Premium, MEWA, and Anthem Balanced Funding plans. The email will include a link to an online form for these clients to provide the information needed to complete the filings on their behalf.

Also the week of February 16 – ASO client D1 opt-in
Anthem will email ASO Large Group and National Account clients and provide a link for them to request that Anthem file their 2024 D1 Premium and Life Years report. For those who opt-in, Anthem will submit the aggregated data by market segment on their behalf for the benefits they administer and maintain.

Early June 2026 -- Confirmation of RxDC filing
When the filing is complete, Anthem will publish an article in EmployerAccess Latest News to let clients know. Anthem will also post an article in our Broker Hub, Broker Plus app, Producer Toolbox, and Anthem Consultant Hub news channels
