Appendix A: Template for Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request Form

General Instructions:

To receive consideration for a rebate reduction when there is a severe supply chain disruption, the manufacturer of a Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar must complete Sections 1 through 3, which are:

• Section 1: Identifying Information

• Section 2: Information on the Severe Supply Chain Disruption

• Section 3: Certification

CMS has defined a severe supply chain disruption to mean a change in production or distribution that is reasonably likely to lead to a significant reduction in the U.S. supply of a Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar by a manufacturer and significantly affects the ability of the manufacturer to fill orders or meet expected demand for its product in the United States for at least 90 days. This definition does not include interruptions in manufacturing due to matters such as routine maintenance, manufacturing quality issues, or insignificant changes made in the manufacturing process for the drug.¹

Submission Method

The manufacturer must email IRARebateandNegotiation@cms.hhs.gov, with the email subject line “Rebate Reduction Request: Notice of Intent to Submit a Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request,” indicating the manufacturer’s intention to submit a Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request for the applicable calendar quarters for Part B or the applicable period for Part D. Within 5 business days of receipt of the email, CMS will provide the manufacturer with the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form and access to a Box folder, or similar process approved by CMS, specific to the manufacturer’s request. CMS continues to evaluate options for manufacturer form submissions and may revise the submission method in the future.

For a natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event that occurred on or after January 1, 2023 but before August 2, 2024 for a Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product, or on or after October 1, 2022 but before August 2, 2024 for a generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar, that the manufacturer believes caused a severe supply chain disruption, an authorized representative of the manufacturer (as defined below) must submit to CMS a complete Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form, along with all supporting documentation, no later than 11:59 pm PT on October 1, 2024 to receive consideration for a rebate reduction for that severe supply chain disruption. For a natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event that begins on or after August 2, 2024, submissions for a Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar must be made within 60 calendar days of the first day such event occurred or began. If a severe supply chain disruption affects multiple Part B rebatable biosimilar biological products or generic Part D rebatable drugs or biosimilars with the same manufacturer, the manufacturer may submit one request for all affected products. If a manufacturer elects to submit one rebate reduction request for multiple affected products, CMS may grant the reduction request for some products in the request and deny the reduction request for others.

Submission Requirements

The manufacturer is required to complete all sections of the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form in English and submit the following documentation to the CMS-provided Box folder, or alternative submission method approved by CMS:

• Supporting documentation providing evidence that the severe supply chain disruption directly affects the manufacturer itself, a supplier of an ingredient or packaging, a contract manufacturer,² or a method of shipping or distribution that the manufacturer uses to make or distribute the Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product(s) or generic Part D rebatable drug(s) or biosimilar(s), such as a change in the production or distribution of the Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar that is reasonably likely to lead to a significant reduction in the U.S. supply of the product by a manufacturer and significantly affects the ability of the manufacturer to fill orders or meet expected demand for its product for at least 90 days.

• Supporting documentation providing evidence that the natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event caused the severe supply chain disruption, including when the natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event occurred or began occurring, and the duration (expected or actual) of the severe supply chain disruption.

• Supporting documentation providing evidence of the manufacturer’s physical presence related to manufacturing the rebatable drug in a geographic area where a natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event occurred. If the manufacturer is not physically present in a geographic area where a natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event occurred, but believes there is a severe supply chain disruption caused by a natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event that disrupts the supply chain for a Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar, the manufacturer must submit supporting documentation providing evidence of the impact of the natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event on the supply chain of the Part B rebatable biosimilar biological product or generic Part D rebatable drug or biosimilar. This may include impact on a supplier of an ingredient or packaging material, impact on a contract manufacturer, or impact on the method of shipping or distribution that the manufacturer uses for such products.

• Examples of evidence: records documenting manufacturer ownership of the physical plant where the event occurred, records of insurance claims filed regarding the natural disaster or other unique or unexpected event with relevant dates, dated news reports, dated notification of reduced supply from input distributor or contract manufacturer, and other similar documents.

  • CMS will accept a maximum of five news reports, which must include the date(s) of publication and a detailed citation for the source of the report (i.e., author of the report and name of the publication [e.g., New York Times]), per Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request.

Materials must be submitted in English; any documents not originally in English must be accompanied by an English translation with an attestation that the translation is complete and accurate, as well as the name, address, and a brief statement of the qualifications of the person making the translation.

Certification

The certification of the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form should be executed by (1) the chief executive officer (CEO) of the drug or biosimilar manufacturer, (2) the chief financial officer (CFO) of the drug or biosimilar manufacturer, (3) an individual other than a CEO or CFO, who has authority equivalent to a CEO or a CFO, or (4) an individual with the directly delegated authority as an authorized representative of the manufacturer to perform the certification on behalf of one of the individuals mentioned in (1) through (3).

If the certification of the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form is executed by an individual described in (4) above, a letter prepared on official letterhead from the manufacturer must be submitted to CMS to delegate authority to such individual as an authorized representative for purposes of signing the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form. The letter must include statement of the individual’s name, role (e.g., President), the unique identifier(s) assigned by CMS within the Health Plan Management System (HPMS) (i.e., P number(s)), if applicable, and that the purpose of the letter is to designate the individual with the authority to sign Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request forms. The letter must be provided on the manufacturer’s official letterhead and signed by a senior official of the organization. Manufacturers can designate more than one authorized representative with signatory privileges on a single letter, for example, if the individual signing the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Request form will be different from the individual signing the Severe Supply Chain Disruption Rebate Reduction Extension Request form. The letter should be named “Manufacturer Name – Authorized Representative” and uploaded to Box, or transmitted through a similar process approved by CMS, in scanned PDF format.
