I am renewing an existing PBM Registration. Do I have to provide the same documents a new applicant provides?

Yes. The documentation requirements for new and renewal PBM Registrations are identical.

What documents are required to be submitted to complete a new or renewal PBM Registration?

I provided a particular document to the Department in a previous year. Do I have to provide it again?

Yes, unless you previously provided the documents through the NIPR warehouse from a previous year. You will want to review the checklist located on the Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) Certificate of Registration supplemental form to verify which documents are required new each year.

Can a PBM Registration be issued pending receipt of required documents?

No. All required documentation must be provided before any application will be reviewed.
- If you have an existing PBM Registration, you must submit both the online application through NIPR and the PBM supplemental form and required documentation prior to the license expiration date. The PBM license expires on 12/31 each year if all requirements are not submitted to the Department prior to the expiration date.
