    (d) Exclusion of Manufacturers for Knowing Misclassification of 
Covered Outpatient Drugs.--Section 1128(b) of the Social Security Act 
(42 U.S.C. 1320a-7(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following 
new paragraph:
            ``(17) Knowingly misclassifying covered outpatient drugs.--
        Any manufacturer or officer, director, agent, or managing 
        employee of such manufacturer that knowingly misclassifies a 
        covered outpatient drug under an agreement under section 1927, 
        knowingly fails to correct such misclassification, or knowingly 
        provides false information related to drug pricing, drug 
        product information, or data related to drug pricing or drug 
        product information.''.
    (e) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall take 
effect on the date of the enactment of this Act, and shall apply to 
covered outpatient drugs supplied by manufacturers under agreements 
under section 1927 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396r-8) on or 
after such date.
Right Rebate Act of 2018 This bill requires drug manufacturers with Medicaid rebate agreements for covered outpatient drugs to disclose drug product information. Manufacturers are subject to civil penalties for knowingly misclassifying drugs. Manufacturers are also required to compensate for rebates that were initially underpaid as a result of misclassification (whether or not such misclassification was committed knowingly).
