Now Available: Medicare Survey on Hospital Outpatient Drug Costs
Per an Executive Order and the 2026 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) final rule, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) will survey hospitals to find out how much they pay for outpatient drugs.
This survey runs from January 1 through March 31, 2026. The results will help shape Medicare payment policies starting in 2027.
Hospitals that received OPPS payments for outpatient drugs between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, must complete the survey.
Contact OPPSDrugSurvey@cms.hhs.gov with any questions.
