The VA Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) maintains the price database for all contracted pharmaceutical products with assigned National Drug Codes (NDC). McKesson downloads the prices nightly from the PBM website. McKesson is mandated to only load items and prices included in the PBM price data base. The prices for the medical/surgical items and other non NDC items are provided to McKesson manually by the Contracting Officer.
