Employer RxDC Reporting for Plan Year 2023
Insurance companies and employer-based health plans must annually submit information about prescription drugs and health care spending directly to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This data submission is called the RxDC report. Reporting is due by June 1, 2024.
The report may require additional data to be gathered from fully insured and self-insured employers by their insurance carrier or third-party administrator (TPA).
Please refer to this page for processes from each of our carrier and TPA partners. We will continue to update this page as information becomes available.

State Paid Family Medical Leave Laws
The federal FMLA guarantees many workers access to unpaid, job-protected parental, family caregiver, personal medical, and military exigency leave. In the recent past, 13 states have enacted
mandatory family leave programs, and in another 8 states, voluntary family and medical leave programs are now in effect or soon will be. Like the federal FMLA, these state laws, called Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) laws provide job protection. But as the name implies, unlike the FMLA, the state laws require at least partial pay for the PFML of qualified employees.
In the newest episode of HR on Mic, Corbin and Barbara discuss the recent trend of states passing these paid leave laws and how this impacts employers with employees working in different states.
