You can access a list of all payers defined to RebateWeb and not later deleted by clicking List from the payer side of the main menu, clicking on the Payers menu item, or clicking the Payers link at the bottom of each page. Any of these actions will take you to a list of payers. Above the list is a filter which allows you to specify which status you want to view. The list below contains the following information:
Information about the organization as a whole.
Organization Name. This is the name of an organization that processes drug rebate invoices which can be downloaded through RebateWeb. If you click on the Organization Name, you will see the Payer Organization Details page for that payer.
CMS Invoice Contact. This is the name of the individual who should be contacted if you have questions about invoices from this organization.
Phone #. Primary contact's phone number, including extension where applicable.
Email. The email address of the CMS Invoice Contact.
Status. For payers, the only choices are Active and Inactive.
The last three fields on the list pertain to rebate programs which are administered by the organization. Multiple programs may be listed for a single organization.
Plan Type. This has three values:
Federal. This indicates that the program is part of the national drug rebate program which began in 1991 and is overseen by CMS. Each state may participate in this program. Some states separate their federal rebates into multiple programs - this is seen chiefly when a state prefers to handle outpatient medical claims with a drug component separate from pharmacy claims.
Supplemental. This represents a program where additional rebates are negotiated for claims which are initially invoiced under a federal program.
State. This may be any kind of program (other than Supplemental) which is sponsored directly by a state. Contracts for rebate for such a program may be negotiated between state and manufacturer representatives. Some programs "piggyback" on the federal program and contracts are assumed to exist with all labelers which are participating in the federal program.
Rebate Program Cd. This is the code which represents a specific rebate program.
Check Payee Cd. One or more rebate programs may be assigned a given check payee code. If a state will accept checks or EFTs that include payment for more than one rebate program, then those programs will be assigned the same check payee code. If the check payee codes for two rebate programs are different, then separate checks should be sent for those programs. This is of particular relevance when you are sending Electronic Reconciliation Statements via RebateWeb.
Following this information are two buttons. The first is either Activate for an Inactive payer or Inactivate for an Active payer. The second is Delete. Note that the Delete button should be used only for payer organizations which have never uploaded invoices to RebateWeb, e.g. for an instance where a payer was added in error.
From this list, you may also add a new payer organization by clicking on the Add Organization button.
