On April 18, 2025, President Trump
signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once
Again Putting Americans First.” Section 5 of the E.O.,
“Appropriately Accounting for Acquisition Costs of Drugs in
Medicare,” directs the Secretary of HHS to publish in the Federal
Register a plan to conduct a survey under section
1833(t)(14)(D)(ii) of the Act so he can determine the hospital
acquisition cost for covered outpatient drugs at hospital
outpatient departments. This survey corresponds to this executive
order. The acquisition cost data hospitals submit in response to
this survey will be considered when formulating proposed payment
rates for drug payment under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective
Payment System (OPPS). The respondents of the survey will be the
approximately 3,500 hospitals that are paid under the
OPPS.
New collection and are changes.
However, the collection of information's requirements and burden
