DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

Reasonable Charges for the National 

Average Administrative Prescription 

Drug Charge Calendar Year (CY) 2021 

Update 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) notice identifies the 

website where updates to the National 

Average Administrative Prescription 

Charge is located for purposes of 

calculating VA’s costs for prescription 

drugs not administered during 

treatment, but provided or furnished by 

VA. 

DATES: This adjustment is effective 

January 1, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Romona Greene, Office of Community 

Care (OCC), Revenue Operations, Payer 

Relations and Services, Rates and 

Charges (13RO1), Veterans Health 

Administration, Department of Veterans 

Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20420. The telephone 

number is 202–382–2521 (this is not a 

toll-free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

17.101(m) of title 38 CFR establishes the 

charges for prescription drugs not 

administered during treatment, as part 

of medical care or services provided or 

furnished by VA to a Veteran under 38 

CFR 17.101(a)(1) for a nonserviceconnected disability for which the 

Veteran is entitled to care (or the 

payment of expenses for care) under a 

health plan contract; for a nonserviceconnected disability incurred incident 

to the Veteran’s employment and 

covered under a worker’s compensation 

law or plan that provides 

reimbursement or indemnification for 

such care and services; or for a 

nonservice-connected disability 

incurred as a result of a motor vehicle 

accident in a state that requires 

automobile accident reparations 

insurance. 

As indicated in 38 CFR 17.101(m), 

when VA provides or furnishes 

prescription drugs not administered 

during treatment, within the scope of 

care described in section 17.101(a)(1), 

charges billed separately for such 

prescription drugs will consist of the 

amount that equals the total of the 

actual cost to VA for the drugs and the 

national average of VA administrative 

costs associated with dispensing the 

drugs for each prescription. Section 

17.101(m) further describes the 

methodology for calculating the national 

average administrative cost for 

prescription drug charges not 

administered during treatment. 

VA determines the amount of the 

national average administrative cost 

annually for the prior fiscal year 

(October through September) and then 

applies the charge at the start of the next 

calendar year. 

Consistent with section 17.101(a)(2), 

the national average administrative cost 

calculated by VA under section 

17.101(m) will be posted online on VA’s 

OCC website at https://www.va.gov/ 

communitycare/revenue_ops/payer_

rates.asp under the heading 

‘‘Reasonable Charges Rules, Notices, 

and Federal Register and identified as 

CY 21 National Average Administrative 

Cost (PDF)’’, to be effective on January 

1, 2021. The national average 

administrative cost posted will be 

effective until changed by a subsequent 

Federal Register notice.
