CVS/caremark: Reminder – Transaction Submission Resolution Management Service Fees

Effective: January 1, 2016

As previously communicated on September 15, 2015, and as included in the 2016 Provider Manual, certain claim transactions are now subject to the Transaction Submission Resolution Management Service Fee (TSRMSF).
Beginning January 1, 2016, CVS/caremark implemented the TSRMSF for Medicare Part D claims, and as a result, standard Transaction Fees are not being charged for these transactions. In April 2016, CVS/caremark will collect the TSRMSF as a lump sum offset to your regular pharmacy payment. The initial lump sum offset in April will cover transactions submitted between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016. Beginning in May 2016, and in each subsequent month, CVS/caremark will capture the transactions submitted during the previous month and collect the TSRMSF as a lump sum offset to your regular pharmacy payment.
