Medimpact: Reminder- please update your NCPDP profile information.

This message is to remind the authorized individual at your pharmacy to ensure that your pharmacy’s NCPDP profile is up to date and accurate. Your pharmacy’s profile can be accessed at https://accessonline.ncpdp.org. Medicare beneficiaries use pharmacy directories to make decisions about their choice of pharmacy, and information in your pharmacy’s NCPDP profile informs those directories. CMS expects information in pharmacy directories to be accurate, and requires Medicare Plan sponsors to communicate with contracted pharmacies on a quarterly basis to verify that information. This message does not imply that your pharmacy’s information on file with NCPDP is necessarily inaccurate, but rather serves as a reminder to ensure that it is up to date.
