For more information please visit the CMS Fact Sheet Here: https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/calendar-year-cy-2022-medicare-physician-fee-schedule-final-rule

The new compliance date for the Medicare Part D EPCS Requirement is January 1, 2023.

CMS has delayed the start date for compliance actions to January 1, 2023, in response to stakeholder feedback. They are also delaying the start date for compliance actions for Part D prescriptions written for beneficiaries in long-term care facilities to January 1, 2025. We will initially enforce compliance by sending compliance letters to prescribers violating the EPCS mandate.
