Sovereign States Drug Consortium (SSDC)
The Sovereign States Drug Consortium (SSDC) is a state–administered Medicaid supplemental rebate program that allows participating states to pool their prescription utilization numbers to obtain Supplemental Rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers. By participating in this Medicaid pharmaceutical purchasing pool, state Medicaid programs save money without reducing quality of care.
GHS is the SSDC’s rebate negotiator. SSDC member states have complete access to all offers at all times. They review all bids for inclusion in their individual Preferred Drug List (PDL) designs.
The SSDC encourages states with or without an existing PDL to participate, as well as those that have not used supplemental rebates in the past. The more states that participate, the more savings realized. Here is a list of the current SSDC states for the 2010 rebate year:
