PDE Processing Issue

Effective February 7, 2025, CMS has corrected a PDE processing issue in relation to the January 1, 2025 implementation of the Manufacturer Discount Program. Certain PDEs submitted prior to February 7, 2025 may have erroneously rejected with DDPS Edit 935 or 936, indicating the Reported Manufacturer Discount amount was incorrect. Plans may now resubmit PDEs previously rejected with DDPS Edit 935 or 936 to CMS for updated processing.

In the event you have questions regarding PDE submissions, please contact the CSSC Operations at 1-877-534-2772 (option 2) or by email at csscoperations@palmettogba.com.

Please direct technical questions regarding PDE requirements for calculating and reporting the Manufacturer Discount amount to PDE-Operations@cms.hhs.gov.
