CMS: Makers of selected drugs agree to participate in Medicare price negotiation
The companies that make the first 10 Medicare Part D drugs selected to participate in the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program have agreed to participate in the program’s price negotiations, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced. CMS in August selected 10 high-cost drugs for the first negotiation cycle, which will run until next August for prices effective in 2026. It plans to host public meetings on each of the drugs between Oct. 30 and Nov. 15, and make initial price offers for the drugs by Feb. 1.
