Any Part D sponsor wishing to receive Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program (CGDP) payments from manufacturers in a banking account other than the account which appears in the existing EFT file, must complete the online Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Information for Manufacturer Payment Form.
The completed form should be submitted online, and a printed copy provided to the TPA by express mail to ensure it is received by the deadline, August 17, 2013. The hard copy must be signed by the organization’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), or an individual designated to act in the CFO’s behalf. To access the online EFT Information Form go to
www.tpadministrator.com, click on the Coverage Gap Discount Program (CGDP) link, then choose EFT Online Form. An electronic version of the form will be saved automatically and a PDF form will be generated to print, sign and return by mail to the TPA. At the same time an electronic version will be sent to the TPA. This guidance does not apply to Part D Sponsors unaffected by the CGDP, specifically PACE Organizations and Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans.
Please note that no action is necessary if the current EFT file entry is still valid for the contracts which will receive payments from drug manufacturers.
Please direct questions to the TPA Support Center either by Email at
