Utah Medicaid Pharmacy Reimbursement

Utah Department of Health and Human Services’ Utah Medicaid Program has contracted with Myers and Stauffer LC, a national accounting firm, to provide and maintain the information necessary to assist the Utah Medicaid Program with its Utah Maximum Allowable Cost (UMAC) program. The primary goal of the State’s contract with Myers and Stauffer LC, is to develop and maintain a comprehensive reimbursement methodology that offers Utah Medicaid pharmacy providers accuracy, consistency, and transparency in the rate setting process while complying with the federal mandates. Utah Medicaid Program’s ingredient reimbursement utilizes the UMAC and the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC), which is an actual acquisition cost reimbursement index calculated by CMS.

Utah’s UMAC rate is calculated by Myers and Stauffer through a comprehensive survey of Utah pharmacy providers. As Utah specific UMAC rates are developed and updated, the UMAC rates will be available on this website. Please check this website regularly for a link to the most accurate NADAC rates and changes in the current Utah UMAC lists.

If you have trouble opening or downloading the files from this website, please contact Myers and Stauffer LC at (800) 591-1183 and ask for the Utah pharmacy help desk.
